Hi socialeaf.

Hi socialeaf. 

In my mind, I can see it, hear it, and feel the power. It's only my opinion, but I think the fist stanza might not be needed, and that the poem would be stronger starting with the second. But as I said, that's only my...

Posted on Mon, 19 May 2014

This is a brilliant story, Moya, and sad. I kept thinking that it might be better for the story if he just had 'trench foot', rather than a bad case of it. Otherwise he might not be able to continue - once gangrene had set in, and all. But I...

My dad couldn't do that

Posted on Fri, 28 Mar 2014

My dad couldn't do that either, aside from being somewhat inconsiderate to slugs, he's a softy too. It was pretty heartbreaking at the time. I kind of imagined I could crush up worms for it, but everyone was against any effort to save it. I've...

Posted on Mon, 24 Mar 2014

I think this is brilliant, Tina. I love the seemingly glib tone as you summarise life listing the facts with a throwaway casualness that is half bitter, half sweet with a clever wit that softens what is in places, sad  but also factual. My...

Good title and great opening

Posted on Sun, 23 Mar 2014

Good title and great opening lines. For me, the honest simplicity throughout this piece makes it very moving and a great tribute. 

Lovely words.

There is such anguish in this

Posted on Thu, 20 Mar 2014

There is such anguish in this. So often missed - that last moment, the last chance to be there. But it happens so often that I believe that it's difficult for someone to leave when certain loved ones are present and that they can only let go in...
