how you describe your mother
Posted on Thu, 05 Jul 2018
how you describe your mother cooking is beautiful. All the riches of living colour transmuted into taste. Like Renaissance art was a light bulb and cooking for you was the sun where she spread her wings. And the expression of your grief coming...

Very interesting to read his
Posted on Fri, 02 Feb 2018
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...

You are quite right Tom, it's
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 Mon, 12 Nov 2018
I like how the beach is woven all through, the people, the seagulls. It's a great frame for the story, it adds to the easy warmth of it

Posted on Sat, 10 Nov 2018

In an interview someone
Posted on Sat, 10 Nov 2018
In an interview someone famous who had gone to live in America (can't remember who it was) said the thing they missed most about England was the sound of crows cawing in the Autumn. Your poem has a timelessness to it, makes me think this has been...

Posted on Sat, 03 Nov 2018
I didn't know contactless was so risky! I don't like it because I forget my PIN number if don't use it each time. When I worked in a supermarket we had to check people's signatures carefully for every non cash transaction. Now if you lose a card...
