'Allo allo. I'd cut 'indeed'

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.

A self analytical piece shot

Posted on Mon, 15 Jun 2015

A self analytical piece shot through with shattering fact and an overt sense of perception. It encourages reader participation - contemplation. I believe that we're not meant to feel brave whilst we're being brave. We just crack on with intrepid...

I'm with your dad on this.

Posted on Wed, 17 Jun 2015

I'm with your dad on this. Platforms rock. Get them on and strike a pose. Very funny piece. Jolono, I went out and returned to find the family cat's coat hacked off and my 'hairdresser' mama sporting a new chop that closely resembled Friar Tuck...

So much pain, here. A difficult read but studded with lots of poetry and a hint of wry sarcasm.

It's soulful and deep, really

Posted on Sat, 13 Jun 2015

It's soulful and deep, really beautiful. That thread you speak of works to pull all the thoughts together and illuminates the ups and downs of alcohol's pull in an artistic way rather than a flat account.

Philip, a marvellous poem.

Posted on Thu, 11 Jun 2015

Philip, a marvellous poem. Have read it over and over, feels crafted to precision. The speech transformation is a repulsively attractive image, phlegmy reptiles all over the feet, cold and spewed up.  Composition wise it's flawless. Exciting that...

Posted on Wed, 10 Jun 2015

I love this. It's candid, sharply written, self deprecating and  analytical. Welcome to ABC Tales and shout if you're not sure of anything.

The cemetery is the strangest

Posted on Sun, 07 Jun 2015

The cemetery is the strangest place where celebrations take place amongst  tears and old relics and precious mementoes which fade even as we hold them. I always find the spinning windmills and gnomes absurdly comforting. Your format is in...
