Parcel for you...Part 24

In This Garden
In this garden they hid the truth. A lie behind the tulips, their dirty secrets buried beneath truer dirt than theirs. How they piled up the earth,...

Parcel for you...Part 23
Spencer was standing at the window as the car pulled up outside. He rushed to the front and stood at the threshold, rubbing his hands and watching...

This reminds me of when I was
Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024
This reminds me of when I was a child visiting Llanbedr and every year when we arrived, the same man was seated on the same bench, to the point where we always looked out for him and waved. The spirit of him must still be there. It's wonderful to...

Your powerful imagination
Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024
Your powerful imagination allows you to revisit the holiday and the waterfall whenever you want to, Jenny. I bet you remember the scent of the magical air around the waterfall. Apparently water has a memory and everything which passes the water...

Those girls weren't protected
Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024
Those girls weren't protected because they were poor and very vulnerable and the perpetrators WERE protected because of their own identity. To a certain extent they still are being protected. They are referred to as a 'grooming gang' whereas...

Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024
That sounds similar to some of my dreams, Jenny. In many ways they're so much more exciting than real life and are to be appreciated. It sounds almost like you went around the world. Some people say that the faces you see in your dreams are...

I enjoyed the way you
Posted on Sun, 28 Apr 2024
I enjoyed the way you describe the branches as outstretched and welcoming of all. A tree holds no prejudice and they're such generous spirits but beautiful too, what more could you ask? We are planning to have a lovely mature cedar removed...

All this technology which is
Posted on Thu, 02 May 2024
All this technology which is supposed to make life easy is leaving us incredibly vulnerable. There's something comforting about vinyl, you can hold it like a photograph and money too. The replacement of the physical with the virtual makes us feel...

This is lovely, Rhiannon.

Hi lenchenelf, thank you for your comment. I agree, the Collieries fit very well with the theme of the poem. I can't imagine how much toil, human endurance, pain and suffering went into those mines and how rich it made just a few. It set the...

Hi Jenny, of course I'm not
Posted on Wed, 17 Apr 2024
Hi Jenny, of course I'm not offended. Poetry should always be open to interpretation I think. I'm not sure exactly what the secret is myself but I felt it in the plants and flowers, they whispered to me, not in any language I could fully...

This is delightful, Jenny. I love mice, I actually saw one today, scurrying in a polytunnel., they do have important business to do. Segments of sun, yes, I want a whole orange sun for the whole day.
