first day in senior school
Rain heavy air, clear, fresh colours drenched. I walk through clinging grasses like hands welcoming. Summer condensing on twig ends in rowan berries...

calm before
trunk tethered galaxies of leaves wild weaves, wind owned. Waist high, light grained grasses spray. Green-good air an open mouth, bird-fled, waits...

That bit with the band
Posted on Sun, 21 Jul 2024
That bit with the band members was so uncomfortable to read, like rubbing against the grain on splintery wood. I hope Spencer doesn't change, become like them, as they are the first "men" he has interacted with. Does he get to choose who he...

Your employer should really
Posted on Sun, 21 Jul 2024
Your employer should really take care of YOU more, that sounds horrible and stressful. As you say, one would think, with the terrible lack of experienced essential workers like you, that they would bend over backwards to keep you. I bet those...

That was great, how you start
Posted on Sun, 21 Jul 2024
That was great, how you start with the red ring wellies give bare legs! Argh! I had forgotten those, but they were such a big consideration in Summer, weren't they? The Little Mermaid not being able to walk on her new feet would have understood....

Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024
Loved this. Eric's PTSD, how he "never rang the bell to stop the bus outside Iceland". Your poem, how the theme interweaves past and present, country and shop, then comes together at the end with fishfingers coming from both kinds of Iceland,...

Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024
It has been a long time since I went anywhere like this, but your fabulous description took me back instantly :
Dogs under tables,
crumbs drizzling,
sought by tongues.
I hear the clatter of

Oh Luigi, I hope this doesn't
Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024
Oh Luigi, I hope this doesn't happen often! I cook for just me quite a bit as I am the only vegan in our house. If you have an onion, a carrot, tinned tomatoes and baked beans, you might rinse out the sugary sauce the beans come in, and cut up...

Hullo Paul :0)

Hullo Paul :0) Have huge worries too, not just about genuine green land being built on, but also that the necessary affordable homes are no more likely to be built now than before, because they do not provide the same level of profit?

Thankyou for sharing this moment, Maxine :0) That was an interesting journey you had today, the stillness to appreciate beautiful designs of spider webs and the next, shock of one-wheeled motorbike racing off!!!

Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024
Rhiannon, that sounds horrible! Remember you writing about tooth trouble in Covid, too. Though your poem is fun to read and makes light of what must have been a very grim experience, really glad you are pain free now!
