No one comes here.

Poem of the week

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...

I Name that Shoe....

I’m not particularly fussed about footwear these days but as a child it’s difficult to describe how shoes made me feel. It was as if the shoes on my...

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...

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...

So strong all barriers must fall. Yes, so much is happening just this week, busy birds and buds colouring up, there is no stopping nature. The first verse is all winter and then you unfurl the vigor spring. Wonderful.

Posted on Sun, 14 Feb 2021

Sad, quiet and beautiful. The opposite of love. Very interesting poem. Today my daughter was walking along the street, a man carrying a large, expensive bunch of roses (for his other half presumably) ogled her and winked at her.  Love is a...
