Bee's Journey - (the last leg)
We take it for granted that to make a journey is to travel from A to B, but it's not always as simple as that. There are often so many stops and...

Diagnosis a True Beginning
I remember the look on my face as it melted and slid like The Scream to a puddle about my shocked toes off the floor. And in that cracked second I...

The Surgeon - (dedicated to my surgeon, Mr. Haneif - who was so kind)
He guides us past the earth's drop and catches us lightly in a fall of stars; flies us through a flare that sears bright through our hearts at the...

There's something apparently
Posted on Tue, 27 Oct 2015
There's something apparently casual - almost throwaway in the 'sometimes' of this - whilst still alluding to the deeper subject that works as a contrast with the alternative suggestion that 'sometimes' it might not be so. I love this poem.

Posted on Fri, 01 May 2015
Such a perfect flow to this, Ed. To take a tiny detail and examine it from all aspects and see it in all colours to create a gem of art like this takes a talent for seeing deceptive simplicity. Every detail is developed so smoothly, till the end...

Mixed with grief's delusion,
Posted on Wed, 21 Jan 2015
Mixed with grief's delusion, there's a sense of hard reality in this. Suiside is such a hard loss to come to term with, and his death would be viewed by others as either, him not being able to cope with the grief, or him wanting to be with her,...

Reading this is like contemplating a painting, where you can imagine you hear the sounds around it. The last stanza feels wistful to me.
'Morning peels back

Hi BR.
Your poem is so delightfully surreal that it shouldn't make sense, but worryingly, it does to me. I love the opening stanza - starting out with childlike simplicity 'I closed my eyes on the sunshine at a chair', and apparently...

Hi Ed.

Hi CM.
You got every tiny action without even telling it. 'Mum stood in the doorway between kitchen and hall and frowned at me short-sightedly' - I can see that expression.
'although the kitchen was warm and full of the aroma of...

Hi jolono.
I found this interesting in that the rhythm, being jaunty and quite cheerful, as when someone is walking home unaware that they shouldn't perhaps be whistling if they knew what they were about to find out - (de-da de-da de dum-...
