Jamie has so many thoughts
Posted on Fri, 04 Jul 2025
Jamie has so many thoughts running around in his head, I think it's such a real human condition, that gives us time to process and guide us through life.
I loved his interaction with his son Fox, such an adorable story about jam. My son's...

Posted on Tue, 01 Jul 2025
I love the mystery of those blackbirds, crows and rooks, especially when they're perched on Billy's arms. It feels like there's a time lapse, but for the guy in the Liverpool football shirt shocked at the strange sight.
Looking forward to...

Posted on Wed, 02 Jul 2025
You've written a sensitive poem Turlough, with honest compassion for those going through appalling, aggressive suffering.

I'm so sorry to hear of the pain you are feeling Jane. Losing a pet is devastating, especially when they've been such a big part of your family.
Your poem brings home the grief that you're feeling. I hope with time you will be able to...

Hi Turlough,
your observationhs in the mall were amusing, reminds me of the Outlet village here in Swindon, right by the Steam museum.
Your mention of searching for greengrocer's and fishmonger's being a fruitless mission, rings so...

As I'm reading I'm seeing an element of myself in your story. I had the chance to stay on at school and go to art college, but decided in the end money was more important. It would be good to think I had another self, who actually did go to...

Hi David, there's no way I would go to Glastonbury festival now, far too busy there for me at my age, and as for camping now...well I can't think of anything worse.

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...
