It's Only His Winter Tale

In Mid-Summer My Dream Came True - Almost

By forest_for_ever on Sat, 18 May 2019

In 68 I saw a young Judy Dench in A Midsummer Night's Dream...in 2016 I trod the hallowed boards at Stratford as Snug The Joiner..but I never forgot the power and the majesty of her performance long ago in the very same play

Cat Therapy

Posted on Sat, 06 Oct 2018

I so adored this story.  Partly because it is true and beautiful, partly because I adore cats and one saved my wife's sanity.  Tali came to us in April 2014.  She jumped on my son's shoulders at the cat rescue centre....'she never does that!'...

I really enjoyed the alternate perspective of 'dreaming of me'  This is a beautiful piece of work and one I read several times.

smells

Posted on Tue, 26 Feb 2019

I didn't intend  to read from start to finish, but I did and loved it.  I know that feeling that comes back in an instant when a smell hits my senses.  I still wonder at the completness of the experience that includes the emotion of that moment...

Eyes

Posted on Mon, 18 Feb 2019

I so totally agree with your poem.  When I read a poem and wish 'I'd written it' then it comes from gratitude for putting into words what I have felt.

You've done it again

Posted on Mon, 14 Jan 2019

i loved this poem.  I spent years splashing cash thinking it would impress.  Then my daughter came along with gifts that meant so much and I was transformed.  A message of love in each gift.  Caring...a huge plus in the world  of giving.

This is an amazing piece of writing.  The only thing wrong with it is that I wish that I'd written it.  I write a lot of stuff about the Cosmos and time itself.  This hits so many different levels and resonates in each.
