By Jane Hyphen on Wed, 15 Apr 2020

Locked

By Jane Hyphen on Thu, 02 Apr 2020

When I woke up from my nap, my stupor as I call it since the line between wakefulness and sleep had thinned to a hairline’s width, I noticed how...

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 31 Mar 2020

It wasn’t the first time I’d been stood up on the astral plane. However this was different, I was getting, dare I say it, lonely. I’m usually the...

I don't know how I missed

Posted on Sat, 07 Mar 2020

I don't know how I missed this, what a treasure. Brain scans have shown that looking into a forest in full leaf is restorative, rather like sleep. Access to safe, green spaces for all - and if that isn't possible then poems like this help a lot...

I like this a lot, it's unique and reminds me a bit of Hans Christian Anderson and the way he sometimes wrote from the perspective of an object. I also like the way you have avoided the cliche of exhibiting pride around damage.

Posted on Tue, 04 Feb 2020

This is very fine, especially the first verse, it made my mouth water. Even pavement cracks hold possibilities, I love. It's a shame people don't spend much time outside when it's cold in February because there is so much happening.

Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares

Posted on Tue, 11 Feb 2020

Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares is an example of everything which is wrong with the human race. I enjoyed this piece about the little conflicts that occur inside our heads and reasons behind them. I can lose myself in the mug section in Homesense...

A fine tribute to these

Posted on Sun, 02 Feb 2020
