Taking Care 4 (iv) - Day Centre

Taking Care 4 (iii) - Day Centre

Taking Care 4 (i) - Day Centre

Taking Care 3 (ii)
By eleven, I'd only managed to get through three folders. It was a massive amount of information to take in. I'd written down things like cerebral...

Hope it could be helpful for you, Di.
Parents can be so cruel. What on earth is the father worried about? That his kid will grow up being thought of as 'retarded'? Does he not realise the potential harm he could do? Would he put a cat...

This captures how I'm feeling myself, Jane. I love this time of year... but I miss the summer, too. I especially liked the final stanza:
Put away summer
Seal the songs and colours
In a box, to leaven...

Wonderful! Never lose that inner child. I doubt you will, though

Love it - especially that second stanza. I well remember my ex and I looking askance at one another when James Naughtie on the Today programme introduced a certain Culture Secretary!
Succinctly and poignantly put. Had me nodding...

I like this. An interesting analogy. Those sudden blow-outs, too. And I've never found a puncture outfit that's worked for love.
New loves, though? New tyres? There can still be hope. So, maybe not a 'sad' poem, but a reflective one...

I can't believe I overlooked leaving a comment on this, Hespera - maybe because everyone had said it all. But still...
Scratch is right: it's utterly convincing. So much about it rang true for me on a personal level. That sense of the...

I like the way you bring these things together, Bee: a casual phone conversation about the trivia of ordinary life, bringing us up with a shock to that final final line. To be honest, I hadn't taken much notice of the title until I'd...

Another gem, Bee. I like the way, too, that there's a wave-like structure to the stanzas. I agree with Bear, too, on how you've worked those breaks and run-on lines together. Nicely done.
That first stanza pulls you right in. Who could...
