"Streetlights seep flattening

Posted on Thu, 14 Nov 2019

"Streetlights seep flattening white, blind

us to ink-light of dream-harbouring sky

where as if at God's baton tip, starlings

meet, surge, melt, crescendo wild shapes of joy"

Beautiful.

And the turn in those...

Wow. Crazy roller-coaster

Posted on Sun, 27 Oct 2019

Wow. Crazy roller-coaster fire in fireworks factory story. Brilliant. Yes, I get the Reilly comparison, but I enjoyed this more. I'm glad you kept going with it. I'll read on over the coming days. Far more interesting than some things I've been...

Bloody great!!!!

So many ingredients in this warming concoction. You are chef-in-chief indeed, Ed.

I was joking with someone yesterday about the Spanish term for a "wordsearch". That term describes your creation here (o quizá sopa...

Great poem, too. You really are very literary. I feel like I'm playing at it. I've read some of those works by Eliot over and over and never got all that. Do you need to formally study pieces to get it?

Hi Di. Yes, you're right.

Hi Di. Yes, you're right.

Do you know what I remember? I remember when the council estates had a broad range of people living in them. Sure, some streets were worse than others (Peterhill Drive, Spalding Avenue), where the council...

Posted on Sun, 28 Jul 2019

Great stuff, this, Di. Very spare and sensory, then a tweak of the emotions at the end. Just how it ought to be. Yes. All blood is food. Bang on. Top of the food chain? I don't think so.

Posted on Sun, 30 Jun 2019

Sad affairs, those. Part of the rich weave, though. I'm immediately thinking someone very old but maybe not. Just not high enough on friends' lists of priorities. At least the narrator was there, so maybe the others didn't matter so much. I like...

I always love these pieces

Posted on Wed, 22 May 2019

Posted on Mon, 13 May 2019

Great pick of the day. You've got so much into that first verse, Di. Brings the senses alive. Good point about access and people buying these wilderness places up. They want it all to themselves. Everything. And they'll get it. True also about...
