RV
While flowers and fruit and leaves fall, birds rise calling dawn from horizon's broken shell; song from bare branches brightens silent cold; and soon...

hard and fast and shiny
we make our faces look plastic like dolls we had as children, un aging if we can afford to pay in plastic. Package fruit so it won't go black as air...

Very interesting to read his story. I only really knew of him from hearing an interview about how by the time they let working class people into Oxford it was so dummed down there was no point going there, and that the elites never accepted him...

Posted on Sun, 17 Sep 2017
You are quite right Tom, it's just a collection of nature scenes. It's just that I realised that someone from centuries ago could have seen them, too. And while I think of the wood as a beautiful place to go and see the sun and hear the birds....

Posted on Tue, 12 Feb 2019
that's so clever! It reads like waves coming in, each one higher than the last, or a time lapse film. I love how the last line in each verse links to each next like cogs fitting perfectly, it emphasises how everything works perfectly one stage...

Posted on Sun, 10 Feb 2019
The trouble is that the driving is destroying lush forests. The more people run away the less there is to escape to. The last verse is so hopless, a life that started off aiming at the stars can't reach them and becomes debris which brings down...

Posted on Fri, 08 Feb 2019
Always in awe of those who can make rhyme look so easy, but this poem is about wildlife so it's great for two reasons! And it's as jolly as the flower is. I have read several beautiful dandelion poems on ABC but this is the first with such a...

Enjoyed this so much! I think you must have keen eyes as well as such knowledge, there are layers and layers to what you see that I am unaware of. Waiting at a bus stop here, I saw a buzzard being mobbed by rooks, and often I hear them mewing...

I hope Shirley finds happiness in your book. At the moment she feels like someone searching up and down a corridor looking for a door that has been blocked off and papered over. I am very interested to see how you develop the characters who can...

"out of decay and wilting drabness, dearth" what a description of Winter!
"Surprising growth" is clever as they rise out of the ground
"bright white droplets gleam" is perfect, droplets as they are so small....

Posted on Mon, 04 Feb 2019
Oh Jane! I wish I could have read this when I was 12-13. It reminded me so much of how I was. Know now it was OCD. Remember my Mum screaming at methat I should be locked up, the panic attacks when she'd storm in and kick and push things out of...

This is so funny, but also I love how you describe everyone, even a few lines makes me feel I'd know them. It's wonderful writing. Also reminded me of our attempts to get coloured telly, then years later, computer.
