The Ministry of Wellness

Image: Creative Commons A writing exercise, where you take the first line of someone else's story and use it as your own. I borrowed a first line from my favourite novella by Mikhail Bulgakov.

I love volunteering in

Posted on Tue, 04 Jan 2022

I love volunteering in charity shops. You meet the best people. It's lovely to read a poem that celebrates ordinary things, like having a natter.

Thank you both.  I'll leave it up.  I've made a few edits as suggested.  I guess I am little frustrated, like Kristal Licht! Cheers.

While I agree with your

Posted on Sat, 04 Apr 2015

While I agree with your assertion that openness is a positive thing, you have to remember that 'the family' is often the root cause of many people's problems.  Confiding in one's parents is not always possible and many children have no one they...

Everything she did for you,

Posted on Thu, 26 Mar 2015

Everything she did for you, she did because she loved you.  There's no need to feel guilt.  Good mums don't expect much in return, they just want their children to be safe and happy.  I know from talking to you that she was a lovely mum and she...

Lovely story, well told.

I'm afraid that the Nazis' views were fairly widespread at the beginning of the twentieth century and not confined to Germany - eugenics was almost like a religion to its proponents.  In the USA there was...

I was going to comment on your conversation with Jesus about Je suis Charlie, but you've taken it down.  I thought it was an interesting idea.  I was wondering if you felt comfortable imagining/writing dialogue between yourself and Jesus, safe in...

Very strong characterisation

Posted on Mon, 01 Sep 2014

Very strong characterisation here, Bee.  His voice, his self-justification and attitude towards his wife come through really well.  Excellent.

Hi Jem,

Hi Jem,

If it could have been longer, then I'd consider adding to the poem  - I'd definitely want to read it.  These things need saying.  You've personalised what seems almost to be a zeitgeist - sexual violence and misogyny feel like the...
