part 3 (redrafted)
Mary's heart was going "Boom, boom, boom" shaking her ribs. It was the only sound she could hear. Then Jake was there, shouting, "Can I have icecream...

angelica (after reading Onemorething's beautiful poem)
Reality is a trap. In this garden no sun warms. Underground, worms squirm in a rootless world as tongues before words. But then, there, at the back,...

Posted on Thu, 02 Sep 2021
I LOVE this poem,Jenny. How far you travel - from beside a cobweb, like a symbol of stillness and fragility, to a distant hill where "copse of strong trees stand" ( I love that you put strong in there, too) All brought about by you listening to...

Posted on Sun, 29 Aug 2021
"She smiles (thinly) spins and twirls," seems sad? Is it because she is trapped doing the same dance over and over, like a doorkeeper into magic, so though she seems fragile is powerful. But longs to have wings be in the place she guards?

If so much in a conciousness
Posted on Sun, 29 Aug 2021
If so much in a conciousness is inherent instinct, there must be connection with those sharing that instinct in the present, I like how you say "a surge of the energy of one" and maybe too with those who passed the instinct down. In such brief...

Ah, did wonder about that, they are a great advert for a Creator though, aren't they? Would be easy to think of how amazing a Creator must be, when thinking of those colours :0) The thing is, idols are man made, second hand gods, and birds aren't...

Posted on Wed, 25 Aug 2021
I love the long, flowing sounds of " canal’s slow-undulating" and "miniature, muscular" which contrast brilliantly with "hot-clay banks"
and "Golden eyed, barred mouth, striated scaled," the list uncoils like a snake's shape in water, and...

Posted on Wed, 25 Aug 2021
they are so BEAUTIFUL! I had never heard of them, those COLOURS! It seems specisist to me, that it might be a sin to kill one kind of bird but fine to eat another, however there must be something so wrong with a person to want to destroy such...
