sorry, not sure why - but my comment posted twice - so I'll add this - Your descriptions had me on the edge of my seat and I found no excess of words, only apt and chilling images.

I enjoyed this- Starting out
Posted on Mon, 03 Aug 2020
I enjoyed this- Starting out searching for monsters but discovering instead the beauty in the unknown and the strangely different. At least, that's where this poem took me and I loved it- I always smile when given optimistic endings.

The golden sunshine, optimistic, days of our youth- "like pleasure of marmalade on hot buttered toast" you've truly captured these musings here Jenny - You're look back is crisp, clear and packed with dreams - perhaps unrealized-- while...
