I like the way you have
Posted on Sat, 04 Jun 2022
I like the way you have contrasted the Queen's 70 years of kind, understanding and supportive service to Putin's despotic carelessness for human life. At this moment in history that is a very important and stark contrast, between humane service...

I enjoyed your poem relating the old story nicely! It is a great story, which can be used as a moral tale, and as a speculation about what could have happened to the children! I seem to remember reading that quite a few German cities/towns claim...

I was able to read this piece one day on the holiday I have just been on, but couldn't really use the internet most of the time. I was very relieved to hear your son is okay and is safely home. I found your piece very informative and illuminating...

I did enjoy this continuation
Posted on Thu, 21 Apr 2022
I did enjoy this continuation of your Pointless saga, and Boris's continued lucky escape. It is nice to know that the French Revolution hasn't actually finished yet, but I think Boris has far more than 9 lives! He is a miracle man, who, just when...

I did enjoy this very funny
Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2022
I did enjoy this very funny exagerated satire. It is a good series, and I feel I know the real Boris a lot better now. I am wondering whether Priti could be becoming the real power behind the throne of Boris? (Maybe she can use her charms on Mr...

Wow! This is very good Di Hard. An allegory which shows the current conflict in Ukraine and the world, in a very intelligent way. I am pretty sure I know who the Clever King is, very topical, but there are a few candidates for who the Richest Man...

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...

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...
