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 '...

A very thought provoking and
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
Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2022
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...

I like what you have done
Posted on Thu, 02 Jun 2022

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 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...

Vladimir Plutinpot must have one of the thickest skins known amongst the currently living human race. Most ordinary folks like us would be quite embarassed to be causing so many people so much pain and suffering without good enough reason! To...
