Posted on Thu, 14 Aug 2025

Beautiful observations of nature and the buzz of energy all around us when we step outside, Jenny. There is so much happening, you could spend whole days lost in the garden or the woods with no need to travel and spend money on luxuries. Even...

Mother clinging to more natural pursuits of the beach and yoga and her daughter disappearing into phone world. I always imagine myself as an early riser appreciating the sunrise but the reality is the rest of my family are night owls and keep me...

So bizarre but also

Posted on Wed, 06 Aug 2025

So bizarre but also believable. The salty sea dog man with insect legs sticking out from his teeth. I know he exists somewhere. And the paranoia, a churchy element. It's so well done and so brilliant!

A perfect poem for the full

Posted on Thu, 07 Aug 2025

Posted on Sat, 19 Jul 2025

This is very raw, the idea of a man hiding in a myth, with power over his partner, perhaps the only way to think of such a man and accept his actions which appear to involve some violence. And his mood like the sea, dependant on the weather of...

I found this journey through the seasons tapped into the emotions, the joy of spring, the stark loneliness of winter, naked ice horses and hoar forst, There's always a sadness when the geese start honking in vast formations across the darkening...
