Posted on Thu, 31 Mar 2022
I enjoyed this poetic take on a creepy tale, especially how you set the scene in the woods and then take the reader through the story until its brutal ending and the childrens escape. I love the Pied Piper verses but it's rather long. This is...

Anemone, what a beautiful name for a fairy. I can just picture the twins, Alvar and Almalric playfighting and flying around the forest. I must say, I really envy their lifesyle, especially at the moment.

Posted on Sun, 27 Mar 2022
I love this. The picture you've painted is beautiful and pure escapism. Yes I do believe. I was once lucky enough to see a tiny tiny man, not a fairy, well not winged anyway. I was a small child but I know what I saw. I've written about it on...

Beautiful lines for the season Rhiannon. I haven't seen any celandines yet but lots of aconites out here with their little collars and of course all the primroses and daffodils blowing their trumpets, 'heralding the coming spring'. Perfect.

Thank you so much L for reading and commenting. I had to go back (far back) in time to find this voice and remember how much I wanted to resist everything than comes with becoming a woman. It didn't help having male relatives who were...

Posted on Sun, 27 Feb 2022
This is sweet and sour. I enjoyed the descriptions of Cornwall here, so well done, especially the Hottentot Fig, once you learn that plant name, you never forget it. The energy and fearlessness of youth quickly expires but it sounds like your...

Wow, this is really sweet and touching. The lady in the photograph looks so happy. Music can be a medium for time travel. She must have so many wonderful memories.
