Peter's Soul
The door was thick, four or five inches perhaps and made from iron. It felt very warm, hot even, hand hot, you could touch it but you wouldn’t want...

Parcel for you....Part 27
Vanessa laughed. It was late and she was too tired for anger to surface but vulnerable to silly exhausted giggles. The insinuation was absurd and if...

The girl with the softest edges Who summons the stars And the scent of the rose Who unburdens the sun, scattering its fiery embers Her name is Dusk...

That was a fascinating read
Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024
That was a fascinating read with lots of different elements. I have never experienced this first hand although my brother did this to his family and one of the things which surprised me the most was the way our mother forgave him (her son) pretty...

Entertaining but too bloody
Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024
Entertaining but too bloody true, reminds me a bit of 'The Thick of It'. Boris used to come into a place where I used to work, the scruffy bumbling thing he projects blinds you like a mist. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the...

Father of the bomb. Imagine
Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024
Father of the bomb. Imagine pushing the boundaries of science to invent something groundbreaking, literally, then being tortured by the results. You've captured the sense of confusion and torture and the feeling of something swelling internally,...

You always take us with you,
Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024
You always take us with you, Rhiannon and it feels almost like a mini holiday, reading your poems and the way you capture nature's elements. I could swear my body temperature changes as you describe waterfalls and mists.

This is so beautiful,
Posted on Sun, 26 May 2024
This is so beautiful, illustrating a woman's life choices through the ages, how they adjust around her physical self and the mind adapts to accept the changes. No regretting or forgetting, her fading has an element of satisfaction. She lived her...

This is a suffocating read,
Posted on Wed, 22 May 2024
This is a suffocating read, something like a dream or nightmare in which you are trapped. The addition of a train only adds to the claustrophobic atmosphere and the feeling of life being out of control and bad times ahead. Look forward to the...

We could have done everything
Posted on Sat, 18 May 2024
We could have done everything better. Very creative with the concrete foundations of a wonderful poem.

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...
