Posted on Fri, 01 Sep 2017
I like the way this shows that depression invades all the senses. The description of the grin 'held up with string' is particularly striking and really conveys the mask that people use to disguise the reality. And of course, as you indicate,...

Beautiful imagery, and the lilting rhythm goes so well with the subject matter.

So much to absorb and think about in this, Elsie. I've read it several times, and it poses a lot of questions. I do hope your dad's funeral was what you wanted it to be. The bit about more contact with the family made me smile - all sorts of...

Lovely stuff. The bit where they come in and you want to hear all about it and they just say 'OK' because they're starving - that really made me smile. Always in their own time. The reassurance of everything being as it should be, after a day...

Posted on Sun, 13 Aug 2017
Really like the way the relationship between Jack and his dad is so complex - Jack is happy his dad is happier - and more likeable - but sad that he doesn't see him so much. The dad is a very interesting character. Some of the dialogue in the...

So much truth in this. The incomplete ending is often the hardest to accept - as you say, not knowing the crime, not getting any answers. The last stanza really hits home, recognizable to anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thank you...

Posted on Thu, 27 Jul 2017
You capture the odd, surreal nature of a dream very well in the first part of this story. I like the flashes of humour as well. Personally I'm not a fan of 'it was all a dream' endings - although, again, there are some nice touches of humour...

Hi, good to see you back on the site! I have lots of sympathy with this. I have not yet reached the level of resisting all upgrades, but I do tend only to replace if it breaks. Perhaps indeed it is an age and experience thing - the only thing...

Posted on Fri, 21 Jul 2017
Hello! Welcome to ABC Tales - lovely to have you here.
I like reworkings of fairy tales. They always lend themselves to reinterpretation and I enjoyed your poem. I'm no poetry critic either, so I can only offer a personal point of view...
