It is difficult to read, particularly on a screen.  The words themselves provide the cumulative effect you seem to be aiming for, powerfully building to the denoument.  I don't think you need this particular formatting.

 You have not put this piece

Posted on Tue, 19 Apr 2016

 You have not put this piece as fiction so I am assuming it is at least partly personal experience.  It must have been very difficult to write.   You've captured the heightened emotion of such an occasion, the artificiality and sometimes surreal...

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2016

I'm not a fan of the Family, but I felt for her son, posing for 'that' picture.  Choosing between the symbolism of doing it and the symbolism of not.  Whatever the perks, I wouldn't fancy life as a signifier.

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.  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.
