I like the way the poem's

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2016

I like the way the poem's structure emphasises the ambivalence, the simultaneous need for and fear of dependence.  The poem also makes you wonder about the dynamics of the relationship, and what the 'other half' thinks about it.  A good read.

Perfumes are so evocative.

Perfumes are so evocative.  For me Carven's Ma Griffe, if I ever catch a whiff of it, has a very similar effect.  Beautiful writing.

The magic of the not quite

Posted on Thu, 07 Apr 2016

The magic of the not quite everyday.  'Listened to the last rays of the sun' - a wonderful image, and welcoming time as a warm cloak speaks of peace hard won.   A beautiful piece, Tina.

Posted on Thu, 24 Mar 2016

This is a really interesting read - I love the mix of fact and personal reminiscence.  I've never read 'A Kid For Two Farthings' but I remember seeing the film on telly years ago.   As far as I recall Diana Dors was in it - which sounds  unlikely...

Posted on Mon, 21 Mar 2016

I like the fact that there is no compromise in this - it is a genuine shock when there is no rescue for Dawn.  The crows convey so well the sense of a primeval power at work, and I felt the story was at its best in the passages describing that...

Reads much smoother and if anything even creepier!  Absorbing and disturbing.

Posted on Sun, 13 Mar 2016

I really like this - very descriptive and I like the circular construction.  Genuine feeling of malice and the pacing works really well. 

I think it needs a bit of proof reading - there are some bits I had to read over a couple of times to...

Hi, welcome to ABC Tales.
