My stories

J is for Jingle Bells and Jackdaws (another go at this)

bright sound from high, cold night of promise drawing near dusk; like roofs' slates took flight with joyous jew's harps' cheer
Cherry

I is for Icing and Ivy

concealing sweetness spreads white, on all made before lushly sheltering birds' first food in next year's store
Cherry

H is for Holly (for sale and for song)

Tied wild tamed by gold spray fussily ossified bright red in gloss green sway where feasting blackbirds ride
Cherry

G is for Glitter and Gorse

scattering sparkle specks outlast family trees bully wind's brash frolics fresh gold unfurlings tease
Cherry

F is for Fairy Lights and Frost

fossilised Life's dark fires strings of electric sweets skimming crystal empires as blue sky's bright heart beats

That's a wonderful IP

Posted on Sun, 12 Oct 2025

That's a wonderful IP response, Rhiannon :0) Agree about Victorian hymns being great fun, the unity found in all the voices, doesn't matter if a person (eg me) can't sing, the feeling of joy, being uplifted, the shell of the walls filled with a...

Posted on Sun, 12 Oct 2025

I saw Floki in Vikings, but not any of what your amazing imagination found! I love :

"Silent billows drift – clouding veil that

twinkles brink, distant span without a

bridge...far out of reach."

Magical poem, brilliant...
