Thanks for your comment Di Hard. Your partner seems to have had a particularly difficult job as he was being obliged to sell. At least my (Alfred's!) job was aiming to help or answer callers' questions etc, even if doing a satisfactory job might...

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 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...

Posted on Sat, 13 May 2023
I started doodling when I was at school. From there I decided to build up the doodles into proper pieces on separate pieces of paper, which I did for many years, creating many works of my own art which I still enjoy looking at to this day, and...

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.
