A Tree Falls in a Forest, Who Hears It?

A concept that has defeated philosophers down through the ages. Man and his place in the universe, are we the peak of existence or just the servants...

Alter Ego

I blame him. Why didn't he see? Surely there were enough clues. At first, in the beginning, we were so close. Soul mates! What a ridiculous...

The Returned

A photograph. It could be anyone. One of hundreds involved in a 'War to end all wars'. Much cracked and faded now, like the memories. He stares...

I do like this, so much in few words.

Crows do have a bad press but I like them, love their arrogant strut.

Love 'confetti of swallows'. Lovely poem , and images as always Tina. You help us see things through your daughter's eyes, and in a small way she lives again.

Brought a smile and memories

Posted on Mon, 11 Apr 2016

Brought a smile and memories to my day. Thank you Tina.

I can remember my nan saying 'keep out the 'orse road'. We didn't collect what the orses left behind though, no gardens to speak of.

If only those lost moments

Posted on Thu, 17 Mar 2016

If only those lost moments could be retrieved, but then I suppose that is part of life 'if only'

Posted on Mon, 26 Oct 2015

So, so beautiful. And such a wonderful testament to your daughter. Your words capturing beauty lost and still existing I like that you included 'but now I'm content to remain'. I'm amazed that your skill with words and imagery just continues to...

'a maze of so many no-through

Posted on Mon, 28 Sep 2015

'a maze of so many no-through roads' such a telling phrase. So sad that the real person is still there but does manage to surface occasionally. Sad and funny in equal measures, love 'the best frilly draws.'
