Hi Rob,

Hi Rob,
your poems are always reflective of what you see and feel. This one arouses my feelings for nature, being one who suffers a great sorrow when yet another tree is cut down, that has maybe stood for many years and deserves to be...

Loved the metaphors in this
Posted on Thu, 02 Jul 2015
Loved the metaphors in this poem:
Chaining old times to the grass as we picked it and laughed. Great line.
Also:
She lit a small candle
which flustered a seeming cool
in the bright fired air. And soon after...

This is such a thought
Posted on Sat, 30 May 2015
This is such a thought provoking poem Shannan. I agree with Bee, just love the idea of capturing petals, before they are cried as tears.
I have many dried rose petals which I've collected over the years, they all hold memories, good and...

Hi Tina,

I took a lot from...

Oh Tina, I flet so much
Posted on Sat, 21 Mar 2015
Oh Tina, I felt so much saddness at reading this piece. Those poor creatures that you got so much pleasure from, now gone.

Hi Tina,
poor Brody, just the thought of Cam would make my blood boil. Like how the last bit makes you think that maybe Cam was growing on Brody.

A real Armageddon scene described brilliantly here in this desolate poem of despair.
Very good read.

It's frustrating to think
Posted on Fri, 20 Mar 2015

I like the mystery behind your writing.
Jenny.
