Vanessa sort of zoned out over dinner, it was almost impossible not to. The opening details of the story had been intriguing but they were soon into...

Hi Turlough, thanks for reading and taking the time to leave a comment. As free as the untamed creatures, yes, my motto is you should aways keep a small portion of yourself feral, of course this can express itself in many different ways.

Thank you celticman. I've been feeling really sad about a couple of young men who went missing near to where I live. Both were found dead. It's unbelievably tragic and indicative of the challenges our youngsters are facing.

Hi Jenny, earth and sky connected through rain. I never thought of it like this, the constant cycle of drawing up and then replenishing us. It's so forgiving. Thrive in radiance, they do after a good soaking. I think we need it right now. A...

A song to hold you in time, Penny and keep the memories alive, those feelings that stirred all those years ago are still there, you just need a channel to take you back, a song or a scent. It must be both comforting and painful. I hope you are...

This is one of my worst
Posted on Tue, 04 Mar 2025
This is one of my worst nightmares. Everyone always says, they won't hurt you..You've managed to capture the banality of extreme misfortune, a macabre event in a beautiful pastoral setting. There's no negotiating with those beasts.

This is very stirring, like a peice of music. I felt almost dizzy reading the words and thinking of those gigantic planets and the associated elements. Wordless companion, you bring them alive beyond the science of dry facts.

Marmite on toast isn't for me
Posted on Sat, 01 Mar 2025
Marmite on toast isn't for me, Rhiannon but I might try a nip in a soup or stew, that's a good idea. I wish I did like it on bread because it's a very useful product. Recently I've got a thing for Horlicks and that seems to divide people too,...

Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2025
You don't forget these sadistic nutcases who take up teaching do you? I wonder if it's their personalities which dictate their career choice or their career choice which causes their characters to descend into bullying roles. Probably a bit of...

This is a very unique poem, as are cows, tampered with by us and their extraordinary lives, calfs torn away and the endless milking. I love the contrast between the wild creatures and pastoral scenes.
