Posted on Mon, 20 Jul 2015

They're not just things, though. Can't think that! Unscientifically speaking, surely physical things hold on to aspects of personality, keep memory traces inside their physical structure, echoes of times past, a resonance of something you can't...

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2015

An interesting and specialised topic makes for a good read. This sentence: ' On taking on this role' might sound better starting with 'In' to reduce the ons! A strong narrative voice that could be even more powerful if you tightened your gargoyle...

Posted on Wed, 08 Jul 2015

I used to love Little Ted. It's really powerful, this, a real spare and poignant pinning down of neglect. Your windows - well, their windows - offer a place of hope, a sense of child normality and it taunts the child with what he has to face.

Posted on Wed, 08 Jul 2015

Such unusual touches to describing the scenes - cabbage leaf crinkles and cawing Lords. It's visually rewarding but full of sound, too. A charming piece.

Posted on Sun, 05 Jul 2015

Love's rarely permanent and it shape shifts - this poem nails that through memory and the structures of the house - fragility, repair, age, youth. It's such a beautiful piece.

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2015

The perspective of this delivers and the imagery so powerful. 'trauma in your daughter's hair' is my favourite line. Says so much.

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2015

'Allo allo. I'd cut 'indeed' and re-consider 'was totally wrong for the job.' Maybe 'wasn't cut out for the job?' The words stuck out in an otherwise sculpted piece. See what you think. Stick your tongue out if you disagree. Perhaps you could pin...

Posted on Mon, 15 Jun 2015

Tina, read this in dead of night and forgot to comment because bairn suddenly slept. It's lovely - traditional verse form,  fresh summery images and imagined with vivid scenery and sadness at its close.
