Seeing your death being
Posted on Sun, 08 Jun 2025
Seeing your death being filmed on bystanders' phones, that seems worse than the dying, somehow. Being used as a bid for attention on strangers' social media. Specially after you described so well before all his senses' awareness, his intense...

I liked your poem very much :0) Your home and garden must radiate positive energy. Planting new stuff is my favourite way to feel better, I hope it worked for you and you are all flourishing soon

So sorry to hear of Penka. I guess in a way one small good is that she must have gone without long pain, and you were able to know this, and have a special place to remember her in your garden. In our very small garden here, two cats, a dog and a...

That sounds a bit of an ordeal! But you describe it brilliantly! Must have been scratchy and hot, as well as a bit scary, incase turning an ankle on the hard ground. Glad you made it out safely to record in this poem as your track :0)

Hoping babies are more
Posted on Mon, 02 Jun 2025
