Posted on Tue, 23 Apr 2019
Interesting piece. The tree, once an ordinary sapling, with so many stories to tell and still causing intrigue inside an old church. It's hard to believe punishing nagging wives and mean merchants in this manner was considered normal...well not...

Posted on Tue, 16 Apr 2019
Excellent poem, really made me think. There is something sad about the idea of us just passing through but that is what we are all doing isn't it. All those plastic Little Tyke wendy houses people buy for their kids are destined to outlive us all...

Posted on Thu, 04 Apr 2019

Posted on Sun, 07 Apr 2019
Gosh, is this a true story? It would certainly ring true for many people who've put others needs before their own until their stuffing has gone all lumpy only to be dumped like an old worn-out toy. Love twins...more like the evil twin. I enjoyed...
