My writing class was given the task of putting a character from a 'novel' into a different situation. Not sure if this is too close to original! Abi...

Time Lost

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...

Journeys

I suppose the whole of life is a journey, much of it smooth and uneventful ending in some kind of fulfilment, at other times like a roller coaster...

Times Past or Past Times

My writing class was given the task of writing biography/autobiography. a suggestion was to write it through the eyes of a childhood toy or pet. This is my attempt, not sure if it works but it is just the intro.

The title and the picture you chose so much at odds with the content of the poem but it  adds to its poignancy.

I am sure that there are many young girls in such a situation, trapped by their needs.

A well written thought provoking...

'the things we were going to do tomorrow', so poignant.

A sad poem of lost love and lost tomorrows, so well written.

Lovely Tina.

So much feeling packed into a small space.

Just before he died I bought my father a Yorkie bar, he never did eat it and it stopped in my mother's fridge for ages. Then one day she said you'd better eat it. I took it...

This is really wondrous and truly beautiful. I cannot pick which bits I like best. Should it be 'overhead a skylark..' Whatever the rest of the line makes me truly jealous, lovely. Eggnog sunlight , corrugated fields.

This is so beautifully described and you make it come to life, except for the poor gull.

A nice thought provoking comment to end.
