How you have "confine!" in
Posted on Mon, 10 Jan 2022
How you have "confine!" in the middle of the line, breaking the flow, works so well, it really stands out as a warning, and the rest of the poem explaining why. I wonder if first people using fire might have had rhymes like this? Even not so long...

I love these stories :0) That beginning is brilliant :0) Our neighbour (not the one who has just got better from COVID) has a woodburning stove. Whenever I offer him any Buddleia prunings etc he tries not to shudder and says that the wood has...

Posted on Tue, 11 Jan 2022
As a child the only fruit we had (apart from a satsuma in Christmas stocking) was from the garden. Apples would be kept in trays in the garage getting wrinklier and smaller through the winter, and sometimes with maggots growing in their cores. So...

So glad you got out into your wild places again! It sounds like it was good excercise, you describe the sound and feel sticky mud really well :0) I liked the snowdrop piece Turlough highlighted, very much. And this is great : "trek down slithery...

Really didn't see that ending coming! I loved the different fares, particularly the board game lady and the wolf. Maybe your story was fermenting, getting richer over time, it's wonderful now. I wonder who the last fare was? what awefulness...

Very sorry you have it, are you feeling really grotty? Hope it goes away quickly, easily!
