How Long Can You Stew For, Before You Fall Apart? (2)

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...

How Long Can You Stew For, Before You Fall Apart?

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 30 Mar 2020

“How long can you stew for Before you fall apart?” That’s the little mantra I had going round in my head as I consumed a tin of baked beans. ‘...

Phantoms

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 23 Mar 2020

Phantoms, that’s all we ever were, Vapour trails melding in the rush hour. The same shades of green flicker past And morse code blinks winter sun...

Hi Di_Hard, yes Airy and I

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2020

Hi Di_Hard, yes Airy and I are both bringing ghosts into our social circle in the absence of flesh and blood humans.

There are many interesting facts about hedges, for example sparrows won't frequent a hedge if it has a fence on one side....

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020

This is very magical and light, I like the atmosphere. The distrust combined with the playful and it's true that we adapt so quickly to the unthinkable, frighteningly quickly in fact. Or maybe it was all unthinkable before but we were just too...

Beautiful aren't they

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020

Beautiful aren't they Rhiannon and strangely waxy too as you describe.  There are a few examples of Soulangeana in my area looking their best right now, I admire them on my singular outing of the day and they significantly improve the quality of...

Thanks airyfairy. They're quite common I think, with a round furry body and the proboscis is like a needle, quite cute actually, well at least when you haven't seen many people for a while. You're right about our entitled stewardship of the...

I love the idea of the empty

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 really enjoyed this, it

Posted on Tue, 10 Mar 2020

I really enjoyed this, it brought back so many memories of feeling absolutely free on summer evenings with no worries and so many opportunities stretching out, and of course trees are the backdrop of life.

I like this a lot, it's

Posted on Sat, 07 Mar 2020

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.
