Posted on Tue, 07 Feb 2023
Could this be the future? Can we construct a virtual or everlasting heaven? Great writing, characters remembering and re-experiencing life, and maybe going to heaven?

I do also think this is a great piece, very melancholic, and also very real. A very natural style, with humour and sadness!

Nice poem! It certainly paints the scene. This come from a scene in a romantic film with Tom Hanks in it does it not? It rings a bell, but it is a while since I saw it. I like the idea of repainting a scene from a good film!

I did enjoy this 'miniature'

I enjoyed this realistic story. In this all too real Christmas Tale it seems too much damage has been done to the relationship, and Mick's late reversal of attitude seems to come too late to save his marriage! Not all Christmas tales can end well...

Posted on Wed, 16 Nov 2022
I enjoyed this poem, as I do feel the issues you describe. I could never be described as a go getter so it seems to relate to me. It is not that I would wish to stop go getters from doing or being what they are or want to be. Perhaps I do feel...

Posted on Wed, 09 Nov 2022
I enjoyed this moral tale, and thought it was very effective. It did remind me of the scrooge story too, and another one which my wife and I read a few years ago, about a fairground repair man killed in an accident on a ride in New Jersey, in...
