Entertaining but too bloody

Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024

Entertaining but too bloody true, reminds me a bit of 'The Thick of It'. Boris used to come into a place where I used to work, the scruffy bumbling thing he projects blinds you like a mist. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the...

Father of the bomb. Imagine

Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024

Father of the bomb. Imagine pushing the boundaries of science to invent something groundbreaking, literally, then being tortured by the results. You've captured the sense of confusion and torture and the feeling of something swelling internally,...

You always take us with you,

Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024

You always take us with you, Rhiannon and it feels almost like a mini holiday, reading your poems and the way you capture nature's elements. I could swear my body temperature changes as you describe waterfalls and mists.

This is so beautiful,

Posted on Sun, 26 May 2024

This is so beautiful, illustrating a woman's life choices through the ages, how they adjust around her physical self and the mind adapts to accept the changes. No regretting or forgetting, her fading has an element of satisfaction. She lived her...

This is a suffocating read,

Posted on Wed, 22 May 2024

This reminds me of when I was

Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024

This reminds me of when I was a child visiting Llanbedr and every year when we arrived, the same man was seated on the same bench, to the point where we always looked out for him and waved. The spirit of him must still be there. It's wonderful to...

Your powerful imagination

Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024

Your powerful imagination allows you to revisit the holiday and the waterfall whenever you want to, Jenny. I bet you remember the scent of the magical air around the waterfall. Apparently water has a memory and everything which passes the water...

Those girls weren't protected

Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024

Those girls weren't protected because they were poor and very vulnerable and the perpetrators WERE protected because of their own identity. To a certain extent they still are being protected. They are referred to as a 'grooming gang' whereas...
