yeah this is really beautiful

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2015

yeah this is really beautiful and intricately put together...subtle attention to detail everywhere... from the initial c rattle of 'clambering, climbing – /craving', 'delicately', 'trembles' and 'quiver' dropped throughout, but it was these two...

lovely diction and expression

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2015

lovely diction and expression. this is beautifully written. i liked 'turn on/the smoothest hinge' early on, and the tangled cluster of - later. the use of 'snapping' in the final line is brilliant too. dark thoughts, but wonderful expression...

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2015

ah this is fantastic! but ah, I don't have the necessary diction to describe how it read - think vera says it best with 'high-brow and quick-speaking'! think there was layers within layers here but it's the rattle of diction and interest that...

v lovely, lovely diction

Posted on Sat, 20 Jun 2015

v lovely, lovely diction throughout (tatted was new for me) loved  'the one who listens
for a question' and the line it led to. lots of thought and beautiful depth but the moments are always there...think celticman has touched on this with...

Posted on Sat, 13 Jun 2015

very sad and even seems to move with a certain ominous pace such things must be written about and it is painted with beautiful strokes 'lay howling /on a laundered sheet' / 'I'll have shed/my fat and will look eagerly/round corners'. very lovely...

hi eb some beautiful diction

Posted on Sat, 13 Jun 2015

hi eb some beautiful diction&lovely word combinations and the stanza beginning 'I thought I sensed breath on my neck', leading to ending, was so close and vivid and full of regret. v neat and pretty but quietly devastating. v much enjoyed.

Posted on Wed, 10 Jun 2015

firstly, this is a lovely title... there's a level of angst but it's the thread of thoughts and images conveyed with such economy of words - the truly wonderful 'A beautiful profile, opened/and closed its flickering lids as it passed away' that...

this is a wonder, l.w... i

Posted on Sun, 07 Jun 2015

this is a wonder, l.w... i think the level of detachment (if that makes any sense) is ultimately all the more expressive - the lists of observations - in conveying a level of feeling and a balance between different places/points in journeys

hi jane, this worked really

Posted on Tue, 21 Apr 2015

hi jane, this worked really well and was genuinely affecting. i think you caught that continual throb of hurt within images of nature wonderfully, and the final part - Does it seek to dim the golden glow/of every followed dawn? April came so warm...

stellar, transportive stuff,

Posted on Fri, 15 May 2015

stellar, transportive stuff, delicate and gorgeous. pointless to pick out parts as would be reprinting whole thing here but part. loved 'cradles him like a cello/having fed him a teaspoon of sin.' whisks you away and feeds the soul :-)
