I did enjoy this one as well

Posted on Tue, 25 Oct 2022

I did enjoy this one as well Marandina. I did read it  a week or more ago. You are doing very well at keeping up with Tory Party activities, and also managed to paint them in seasonal goulish shades of dark humour! Great satire, as always!

Good poem! I certainly would

Posted on Tue, 01 Nov 2022

Good poem! I certainly would not want to be a politician! It is a thankless task, with guaranteed criticism. As you say they are only human, and most of us would probably be corrupted by the role to some extent!

I don't quite know what to

Posted on Mon, 31 Oct 2022

I don't quite know what to believe now? You've certainly got me dazed and confused now! This is very effective and had me convinced what reality was more than once. A story within a story, within a story. It is very cleverly done and keeps the...

Certainly this makes a strong point, and it is an interesting angle on the subject! Well worth reading! The code did seem a bit too easy in the end!

Oh yes, we knew so little

Posted on Wed, 19 Oct 2022

Oh yes, we knew so little before the internet freed us from ignorance! I detect a touch of sarcasm or tongue in cheek here! Great poem though! I imagine some of the younger people will believe it thoroughly!

As a memory and explanation of your youth and the incredible musical and cultural renaissance of those times this is a great poem, and a great record of those times!

Please note this piece was

Posted on Sun, 16 Oct 2022

Please note this piece was written a few weeks before the death of our Great Queen Elizabeth II, and some weeks before a new prime Minister thought she could rule effectively without convening a meeting of a round table of her own, which omission...

I did enjoy reading this tale

Posted on Sun, 09 Oct 2022

I did enjoy reading this tale Marandina. I enjoyed the fantasy element of the magic carpet ride to another place/dimension. As the Shadow King destroyed nature in our real world I felt there must be a bad ending on the way, but thankfully you...

Magic Carpet almost seems

Posted on Wed, 21 Sep 2022

Magic Carpet almost seems like a nice change after wardrobes and paintings that swallow you up, and of course flying beds with bedknobs (and broomsticks!), but I am enjoying it as I have always enjoyed stories which involve such things. I am...

Like you Di Hard I was a bit

Posted on Fri, 23 Sep 2022
