After the Blizzard

Frozen in the ground, I found the bones of a forgotten road. Where it was so hard to dig, under scentless layers of pristine snow. An unspoilt drift...

It's so clever have you've

Posted on Mon, 09 Aug 2021

It's so clever how you've communicated the pre-deluge drama. I love it when the dark clouds gather, everything goes quiet and the land is so thirsty. There is an otherwordly feel to this atmosphere and then, as you have desribed here, a patina of...

This made me laugh a lot!

Posted on Mon, 17 May 2021

This made me laugh a lot! 'Mad as a wet hen' and all the things people you have lived with for too long which over time become 'disgusting'.

Wonderful poem. So depressing

Posted on Tue, 20 Apr 2021

Wonderful poem. So depressing  that this has happened in such a short space of time. Many companies, governments simply making noises about tackling climate change and yet the amount of plastic in the industry I work in is frankly mind boggling...

Beautiful and fitting tribute

Posted on Mon, 19 Apr 2021

Beautiful and fitting tribute to three delightful flowers. I love 'fairy skirt' I have a few in a damp patch which they love, even a white one amoung the snakey purples, they really are otherwordly flowers.  And those wood anenomes matt-white...

Posted on Tue, 20 Apr 2021

Lovely cute poem Jenny. It's hard to believe we felt like that once but the stars are still there for us, bright and unchanging. I think you're right that if we think hard enough we can still feel that way.  I love 'absorbed vitality with...

Interesting how people leave

Posted on Mon, 05 Apr 2021

Interesting how people leave litter just feet away from bins. It's almost as if they are trying to make a point but they don't think about what actually happens to their litter afterwards. The road I drive to work in South Oxfordshire it...

Beautiful descriptions of sea

Posted on Thu, 25 Mar 2021

Beautiful descriptions of sea and sky and the wonderful character of a dolphin and all its playful antics. It's hard to believe an animal with so much presence could ever really die. Thanks for sharing, I very much I enjoyed reading.

Posted on Sun, 07 Mar 2021

This is really striking and quite apt for forthcoming mother's day nonsense. It's so hard for me to imagine this but it's happened to a couple of my friends and it's always with them. Your poem is an eloquent, sharp and moving. I love the last...

So interesting and moving.

Posted on Mon, 01 Mar 2021

So interesting and moving. Sometimes a stranger, in a poorer circumstance than your own, can really connect with you and when than happens you don't forget them. I know that kind of dirt that isn't of the earth, it's filth. How do these souls...
