This is great science fiction
Posted on Tue, 01 Aug 2023
This is great science fiction and certainly gets us thinking and trying to work out what is real and what is not etc. (What did you say your name was again? Philip K ??) It also reminds me of the 'Total Recall' film and others like that.

A rich and strong image
Posted on Wed, 12 Jul 2023
A rich and strong image creating poem about this castle (and would describe other ruins and castles too!)! You take us back into history and conjecture. We missed this one when we went to Pembrokeshire a couple of times in recent years, although...

You have packed rich imagery into this poem, which describes the place and animals very well. It did remind me of a safari I once went on in Kenya too!

Posted on Sat, 13 May 2023

Some great descriptions there: I particularly liked, and felt saddened by 'lost sunsets of Hiroshima'!
Also 'neon dreams of the Orient' , which somehow seems to sum up the present days perfectly!

I enjoyed the poem. It paints pictures of Japan for me which means it has worked! I am not sure I will ever fully appreciate what it might be to be Geisha, certainly mysterious like so much about Japan, and also beautiful! But this certainly...

I appreciated the blunt or realistic angle of your poem. I like the way you said it, even though I don't feel too negative about the monarchy right now.

This is a great and rather frightening short story! You have imagined a tidy future with no waste, in which it seems all of us must plan for our demise, one way or another. I haven't quite worked out whether his final unexpected recycling was...
