All Rise

By forest_for_ever on Sun, 17 Jun 2018

I had the sad misfortune to accompany a friend to a disciplinary hearing. I could tell their minds were already made up. I saw no compassion, no forgiveness, only the preordained judgement. It made me angry, but I was powerless to stop the circus.

So powerful and so

Posted on Thu, 28 Jul 2016

So powerful and so frightening.  I still have a fear of being lonely even with my family around me.  Wonderful writing.  I felt as if I was inside Tilly's head watching and sharing her observations and thoughts.

I always love poems that I can relate to.  We live in a tiny village in County Durham and just behind me are three fields leading to the local parish church.  The footpath passes our cottage and this poem could have been written there.

Errand Ahead

Posted on Tue, 22 Dec 2015

I don't know why, but I was taken back to images of the moonlight dancing on a lake at midnight.  I love poems that take me to a personal, private memory and you beautiful poem did that.  Loved it.

Posted on Sat, 28 Feb 2015

I was moved by this work.  I realised as I read it, it could have been me that the voice was speaking to.  I wasn't always a great partner and caused hurt in the past. Now, work like this reminds me I should have always been more sensitive,...
