I love how your poem somehow

I love how your poem somehow shares a similar colourful momentum to this striking bird's performance. The ending is perfect, the whole piece, a fitting tribute to his extaordinary show and dedication to getting a mate.

Wonderful festive poem, Paul.

Wonderful festive poem, Paul. It makes me feel grateful for the traditions you've mentioned, especially at the darkest time of the year when we need a little something to cheer us up.
Who'd be a delivery driver, it must be a nightmare...

He's made the right choice, some things cannot be bought and cannot be replaced or undone. John's choice is the unusual one, most would be seduced by large amounts of cash. He must be a strong man who can now sleep well at night. Lovely piece,...

Posted on Tue, 12 Nov 2024
This is beautiful. I can picture the bleak shoreline, the end of time, unchanging and yet drawing an endless back and forth of tide. I remember as a child feeling so confused about the edges of the universe, the end of space and of mapped...

Hospital is always an ordeal
Posted on Thu, 07 Nov 2024
Hospital is always an ordeal whatever the reason for your stay. I would be anxious too, not knowing quite how your body will cope with movement and unknown levels of pain. You're also trapped, surrounded by strangers. Of course most will look...

That seems extremely unfair.
Posted on Fri, 08 Nov 2024
That seems extremely unfair. It's bad enough with the single room supplement. Surely it's a form of discrimination, just like the self-checkouts discriminate against people who's only chance to speak to somebody all day is at the checkout.
