I enjoyed your poem. Its a great idea, looking at your life backwards through a prism, and you certainly do that very effectively. Well chosen words!
I would be interested now to see what your earlier version of this poem was, before you...

In the early stages of this
Posted on Sun, 27 Mar 2022
In the early stages of this invasion I wondered whether the Russians would have avoided invasion if they had been offered to keep their 2014 conquests with the neutrality of Ukraine, or might even then make a quick deal. But really the invasion...

Thanks for commenting Insert, and for the cherries, which I am very pleased with. I did this piece from the perspective of our lazy, indolent, comfortable western/modern lifestyle, shocked into fear and uncertainty by this rogue invasion of a...

Posted on Tue, 22 Mar 2022
I think this is a very clever and well written piece! In the current circumstances I think many of us are hoping, but as writers I suppose we are not going to be much good at getting it done! I like the way Putin appears to be in full control...

Some great words in this
Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2022
Some great words in this balanced and wise poem. I haven't entirely taken it all in yet, but I do think this is a very hopeful and strong poem. Russia deserves better than this tinpot reactionary, and I am sure a nation of such beautiful music,...

I have enjoyed reading your piece Grace. After getting myself all wound up by watching the news over and over again at the moment, I am finding your reminder that wars and powerful rulers all must pass very comforting. Because you are right....

It could so easily be any of us, and we don't know where the whole war will end up for all of us. our fragile modern peace has been shattered. Your poem expresses what so many of us are feeling and what we need to feel, so that we can all...

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022
Great Poem Marandina! You perfectly describe the mood and the uncertainty in 'untouched' Moscow. I do hope your son will be able to complete his 3 months, but it may be wise to return. War could get nastier and Ukraine still end up occupied, but...

Thanks for commenting Di Hard

Thanks for commenting Di Hard. I am thinking that maybe the European nations and Ukraine should have given Putin the guarantee he seems to want so badly that Ukraine cannot join NATO or the EU, and probably recognised Russia's annexation of...
