that's beautiful! I love
Posted on Thu, 09 May 2019
that's beautiful! I love these walking poems! I have never read anything like them, how you make a feeling of walking, place and moment come alive with rhythm and aliteration, more vivid even than your lovely photo

I enjoyed this very much! All I know about Romans is vague memories of I Claudius on telly. You must have done lots of research to make everything seem so real!

I tried for ages before
Posted on Sat, 04 May 2019
I tried for ages before reading, to guess what the title was about but failed utterly, it's brilliant! And how "crumbs" could be both an expression of annoyance and, literally crumbs. And how you show the real time concentration with "care..."...

Enjoyed this very much. Words

There is so much to this poem
Posted on Wed, 24 Apr 2019

Having spent time this
Posted on Tue, 23 Apr 2019
