Very vivid. As I often do with your writing I see it as a film, swapping between scenes, for emphasis, and build up. The husband ready to join his 'eternal' train, the wife unaware, then left behind, but she will join him one day. It reminds me...

Posted on Fri, 06 Feb 2026
A great poem Turlough. Every line has much meaning, and it is all happening today. Things are going downhill fast, particularly the standards and humanity of the western/modern world. As you say its not new, its always been there, but the good...

Definitely some good points
Posted on Fri, 16 Jan 2026
Definitely some good points to think about there, which you have expressed very well. When you look at it like that it is surprising we haven't had a big economic collapse long before now! I suppose as long as the money still goes round we might...

Great poem! There is truth
Posted on Fri, 09 Jan 2026
Great poem! There is truth and warning in every line! It is very worrying. Indeed 'The tables have' unfortunately 'turned - the world's been sold a pup'! It's true 'they're killing poor Whiteys now.' Very well put!

Your thoughts on these phones

You have brought your memories of Glasgow in 1978 to life. I enjoyed reading this, a great way for us to peer into someone's life and past! My mother had Australian friends who lived in Glasgow at that time, and I remember visiting for Christmas...

Posted on Fri, 12 Sep 2025
A very touching tale, and so sad in the way Caweys disappeared and your lead character will never see him again. You describe the tensions and arguments which exist about immigration, and particularly the current 'boat' people, and the...

A very intelligent and subtle
Posted on Sat, 27 Sep 2025
A very intelligent and subtle look at the question of finding the secrets to eternal life for a dictator. This scientist certainly used his intelligence too. It reminded me a little of 'Arabian Nights' too. Well done!

Well thanks Maxine! I didn't really know him either until his death, but there was so much speculation and discussion about him over the last week and a half, on facebook, You Tube, and Threads, that I have certainly learned a lot more about him...
