Posted on Sun, 27 Feb 2022

This is sweet and sour. I enjoyed the descriptions of Cornwall here, so well done, especially the Hottentot Fig, once you learn that plant name, you never forget it. The energy and fearlessness of youth quickly expires but it sounds like your...

You've captured the violence

Posted on Mon, 21 Feb 2022

You've captured the violence of a storm, the cleansing effect and resulting sense of something changed, a new beginning, a metaphor for so much. I love 'winds whipping spume' and the solitary egret - creepy how they take off and silently fly.

Posted on Sun, 06 Feb 2022

This is beautiful Di_Hard. The drama of these stormy February days together with quieter aspects of nature hiding in the woods, 'jade lichen, acid bright moss'. Somehow you've captured the time of year perfectly. Wonderful poem, loved reading it...

Brilliant rhythm. Poor girl,

Posted on Fri, 04 Feb 2022

Brilliant rhythm. Poor girl, why are some people's lives so wretched? 'A twenty two year old has been' is stirring. I enjoyed the short poignant lines and the rhyming. It's like a series of strikes and mirrors that poor young lady's childhood.

Posted on Sun, 30 Jan 2022

What a story and in it what lovely names and words. 'Legends expressed - myths reaching across time'. There is a beauty in the underworld, just as there is horror in nature. I love it when plants are linked to stories (& poems!). Some of...
