You Looked Like You Had Lost
At low tide, the stillest sleep, and the vastness of this beach exposed. Memories littered, stories, half buried. I think that’s when I saw your eyes...

Legend of the Pah - 6 (S T Vasectomy Clinic)

So much freedom demonstrated
Posted on Sun, 24 Apr 2022
So much freedom demonstrated here in your words Jenny. There is the part of us that gets old, tired and limited and then this side where anything is possible. 'Hitching a ride on ever changing winds', as long as we can do that, there's a reason...

This is brilliant and it made me laugh a lot. Uggly Puggly and his weird mate/lover. I love UP's quirks and the way he is capable of anything, including having too much electricity.

This is beautiful Di. The bright yellow against a blue sky is a wonderful tribute. The way you've described the scent of gorse brought back memories for me, of being in Wales near a beach when my children were small and we couldn't get over how...

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2022
There's something intense about hands, our mother's hands in particular, hands that kept us alive as infants. A very moving poem.3

Posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2022
That's pretty much it, in a nutshell. Very scary that so few people have so much power and so much wealth, following the same pattern as everything else, big businesses taking over small ones, countries seeking to overpower smaller ones. What's...

You've summed up just how much everything has changed over the past week Jenny. The air feels different and spring seems to have burst out of its seems all of a sudden. I love 'not being a pigeon expert', made me smile. The birds bring so much a...

She still gets excited about smelling them - that's so sweet. It's hard to control your emotions, knowing what's ahead but by feeling sad about it you're depriving yourself some of the joy of still having them next to you. I know it's hard to be...

Fulfilling to read, such a treat Di. I love 'bird song chips clear air', because they do, also love 'smelting life from light'. You've crammed so much quality in that I think I'll need to go back and re-read.

Posted on Wed, 06 Apr 2022
I like the way you've woven your adventures in the sensory experience; aromas, sounds, 'resembling a clutch of herbs'. Our brains seem to hang onto the sensory memories with astonishing accuracy, a song or the scent of a perfume acting as a time...

I really enjoyed this poem, all the answers there in the woods. I think we have the same notion of a god. Beautifully done.
