The Leaf Blower - Part 1

autumn
For some, autumn is the best season of the year. They seem to love the shortening days, darkness creeping in like heavy curtains drawing across the...

At Home in the Pause
‘So what do you want to do with your life?’ She looked at me, Mrs Bridges, with a look which was both stern and sympathetic. Stern because she wanted...

RIP Real World
A real planet, really spinning, in nothing but the pure dust of our universe. We lived in the real world. We didn’t really understand it and that was...

What a descriptive snap shot
Posted on Tue, 07 May 2019
What a descriptive snap shot of the sea and its natural surroundings. I love the way you've included sound in this, the gentle booming, also the scent - of seaweed and of course the coastal flowers so beautiful at this time of year.

I have teens and you've
Posted on Sat, 01 Dec 2018
I have teens and you've articulated the current situation so well. There's a huge problem with drugs too, they're dirt cheap and used in the same way we used alcohol. The pressures, choices, the constant scrutiny, exposure to everything too...

I really enjoy these nature
Posted on Fri, 23 Nov 2018
I really enjoy these nature poems Rhiannon, partly because they focus on our native flora and fauna. In urban areas we are often surrounded by plants from all over the world which look pretty of course but lack the subtle balance of nature which...

I am 41 and I'm crying
Posted on Sun, 09 Aug 2015
I am 41 and I'm crying because I can't concentrate enough to write and this is really good and catchy and true. If only there were no more reasons to cry after seventeen!

Your descriptions are so
Posted on Tue, 10 Mar 2026
Your descriptions are so detailed, you cannot help be transported, especially of the desert at night. 'An appetite for arachnids' ew. These beings are not of this world. Mythical creatures (terrifying ones) but also a bit sci-fi.

I would also have suffered
Posted on Fri, 06 Mar 2026
I would also have suffered with claustrophia in the ward and been desperate to get out. Seeing people in immense pain is really hard and all that bleeping, I'm bad enough at the self checkout, the bleeps drive me mad! I'm sorry to hear you've...

Gosh Jenny, I'm only just
Posted on Wed, 04 Mar 2026
Gosh Jenny, I'm only just catching up with this. Sounds like you've had a frightening time. I also have an aversion to hospitals which of course is ridiculous because you're only there when you have to be and they are there to save your life. I...

She doesn't have much choice
Posted on Fri, 27 Feb 2026
She doesn't have much choice unless she wants to just roll over and die. I'd go along with a strange demonic manimal, go with the flow when there's nowhere else to go. The description of the desert made me feel hot and exhausted and parched...

Thank you Insert. Auto

Thank you Insert. Auto-correct is an old friend but you're right, maybe I should think about dumping him .

Oh no, thanks Gloskat. No
Posted on Sun, 22 Feb 2026
Oh no, thanks Gloskat. No need to apologise. I'm always grateful when readers spot mistakes. I think the part of my brain which deals with those details shuts down when I'm being creative. All the more reason to wait and edit later instead of...
