Posted on Sun, 14 Aug 2022

Posted on Mon, 22 Aug 2022
I thought the ghost of Mrs Thatcher was dead, and that we might be safe from callous economic negligence! Sadly it seems she is back with a vengeance to make us all work harder, and she even has influence on the Labour Party? Great satire,...

i have enjoyed reading this one Marandina. It definitely kept me guessing until the end, and the ending did have some good twists. I feel maybe that a bit more explanation or description of how the kids were kept and looked after during their '...

Posted on Sun, 26 Jun 2022
A very thought provoking and quite sad poem. You deal with some very real issues here. Capitalism is like a machine that does not stop, for good or ill. We need to control it and its effects ideally. Let us hope we do not all become surplus to...

I do like the way you updated the story of the horses into a future where the artificial intelligences are proving far more reliable and useful than the real humans, who have managed to score a massive own goal by creating a future in which they...

Posted on Thu, 02 Jun 2022
