Glancing Back
We stood at lakeside...camera poised, I thought about time flowing rapidly; imagined we were two water lillies floating on calm water, laughing at...

Your poem is a jewel to
Posted on Sun, 22 Jun 2025
Your poem is a jewel to treasure Frances. It reminded me of my own early days back in the early 60s, I used to go through my late mum's jewel box with her necklesses, brooches and bracelets. I still have some of her jewels to this day, which I...

I can just see the expression

I can just see the expression on Gwladys face, poor woman never gets a moment to herself. Though It was so amusing to read.
Fun to read as always Phil.

Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2025
You know my opinion on technology Harry. The phone I've just got, sits on my desk unused, apart from some much needed important phone numbers that my partner's son put on for me.
The kind lady in the Vodaphone shop put me on facebook, but...

Hi Jess,
I love your description of my poem:- 'It reads like a composted memory.'..that is so apt and a much valued comment. Living in the moment gives reason to look back at old photos and recapture them in words, it's something I have...

Just spent a couple of hours reading this story Harry. So glad I went back to Dead Man 1. It's extremely atmospheric and the narrative really captures John's feelings as he goes about his business.
Fascinated on how you've created such...

Hi Paul,

Hi Paul,
the daring Siamese cat must have been very brave to chase the fox. This is the kind of situation that probably will never be seen again. It's a great poem and you've captured the moment perfectly.
Like Rhiannon said, if you...

Hi Maxine, I read your piece
Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2025
Hi Maxine, I read your piece with interest. Retiring for me was the best tonic being a home lover. Back in the middle 1990s and into early 2001, I worked nights in a factory, also ran a house on my own, and did three cleaning jobs too. I was like...

Hi Paul, I've got some great memories of that garden. We had an old air raid shelter at the bottom, I used to store all my garden stuff in there, it was like a small den. There were two parts each side of the path, one side was for flowers and...

I was absorbed by the pensive thoughts. I've often wondered what it must be like to have been a twin and that connection that cannot be disconnected, no matter what.
There's an awareness of understanding in your writing Jane.
