Mole
I heard his voice in the rushing water. Graham and I used to sing a song together. I can’t remember how it started but this was the late eighties and...

Posted on Fri, 12 Feb 2021
Lovely, watery poem, I enjoyed the free flowing arrangement of the river's description. It's so alive and very much an apt theme, given all the bursting banks and frozen, flooded fields I observe on my drive to work.

Enjoyed this. The idea of getting dirty among nature while somehow getting your mind cleaned all at the same time. I would love a glimpse of blue sky against the bare bones of trees.

Hi Rhiannon, these nature
Posted on Wed, 16 Oct 2019
Hi Rhiannon, these nature poems you write are so professional now and this is no exception. There's so much texture and the way you extend beyond the visual confines of the scene, 'enjoying the expanse as if they could fly' because that's how it...

What a descriptive snap shot

Posted on Sat, 01 Dec 2018
I have teens and you've articulated the current situation so well. There's a huge problem with drugs too, they're dirt cheap and used in the same way we used alcohol. The pressures, choices, the constant scrutiny, exposure to everything too...

Posted on Sun, 09 Aug 2015
I am 41 and I'm crying because I can't concentrate enough to write and this is really good and catchy and true. If only there were no more reasons to cry after seventeen!

This is very striking in its truth and somewhat depressing too. There is something really peculiar going on whereby we are constantly being informed about the destruction of the environment while being encouraged to partake in the overconsumption...

I found this to be really quiet, soothing even. Those violets are truly sweet and you've honoured them beautifully here Jenny.

I just read the three parts
Posted on Fri, 24 Jun 2022
I just read the three parts Paul and I I found this depressing tale to be quite believable in a Dr Who ish sort of way. I love the ending where you brought back the cob horses and it's written so well, I couldn't wait to read the next part. Not...
