Merman

Fishhooks in your pocket jangle as you wade away to the fog-pressed pier. You use a knife to descale fish, split bone. The kettle screams, I flinch—...

Where The Sea Might Take Me

The woman stood on the edge of the cliff. The coastal breeze tangled her hair and pulled at her dress. She didn’t move. Her eyes followed the waves,...

To Tell You The Truth — Part 2/2

I love this so much. And the line—“she pokes and pokes like she is stabbing a giant to death”.

And Sophia’s breakdown? The “I surrender” moment? Oh, I’ve had that exact thought many times! Resigning to the thought I must be crazy to...

Oh wow—this stopped me cold.

What a beautiful, quietly powerful memory to share.. There’s something so tender about the way you described Paul’s tradition, slipping that £10 through the door like a small, steady light in the dark. And now...

Oh wow—thank you so much! Your comment honestly means more than I can say. I’ve been writing stories since before I was a teenager, but reading this made something click in a way I didn’t expect. I’ve wanted to try publishing again—but...

Thank you so much for your comment, Frances! It means a lot to me. The old couple did sell the house, yes, though it still feels like their presence lingers in a way. I’ve been toying with the idea of turning this into a novella, with several...

Posted on Sun, 27 Apr 2025

This really made me pause.

It’s such a sharp, poetic reflection of how the world is right now — how often we’re caught staring at screens while life, real life, happens around us.

Funny timing, too: just the other day, my son was...

This one really hit me. There’s something so tender and true in how it unfolds—like how hard things have been, how far they’ve come, and how even something as simple as sharing a meal can hold so much weight. Especially when you’re hurting but...

I had to read this one twice to really take it all in. It's so intense and layered!

Hauntingly beautiful, poignant, powerful. The mix of tenderness and darkness lingers like a timeless tale, especially beneath that old oak tree!

Wishing you continued inspiration with your poetry!

This moved me more than I expected. There’s such tenderness in the contrast—bold outside, soft and aching inside. I think a lot of us carry a shade of Red.

Posted on Mon, 28 Jul 2025

There’s a sardonic clarity to this - especially in the second part - that I really appreciated. Like someone peeling away all the romantic nonsense just to say, “Look, I’ve tried, and I’m done.”

The cross, the resignation, the collapse in...
