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 Mon, 26 Jan 2015

Ahh ! Fond memories of my teaching days.  I left the bullshiters to it last year.  The 'target setters' who are more bothered about looking good and their personal careers than those of the children.  No wonder the kids do say 'f**k you!' and...

Posted on Sun, 01 Jun 2014

I must have read hundreds of poems about WW1.  Indeed, I studied it briefly during my time at college.  Many are bitter and angry poems, but the beauty of this work is the simple, powerful question that for many is yet to be answered 'what for...

I remember the wall going up

I remember the wall going up and coming down.  As I read this, I thought about the many who tried and failed to cross the wall.  A great piece of writing.  Thank you

Posted on Mon, 08 Sep 2014

I too stumbled across this piece, but I am glad I did.  I offer no advice because I don't believe it needs it.  This was written from my favourite place - the bottom of your heart and it is a beautiful piece.

 

Thank you.
