Posted on Mon, 03 Aug 2020
A wise walrus Luigi, we've got to get our fingers out now, and reverse this pollution of the seas and beaches. Superb, uncompromised rhyme, and told in your concise and relevant style. You're on form, and enjoyed the read, even if a sad...

Posted on Sun, 17 May 2020
A sometimes poignant, but mostly entertaining, humorous read, had me chuckling right through it. I kept on having to readjust the picture that was forming in my mind as the next sentence changed the whole premise. Full of small anecdotes that...

Strange time-lag seeing light
Posted on Sat, 12 Sep 2020
Strange time-lag seeing light arriving from distant stars, but the moon, so near, and seemingly larger these days? Lovely poem, full of movement and light. One of my old special military skills back in the days was Night Navigation (without any ...

The magic and purity of
Posted on Mon, 07 Sep 2020
