Posted on Thu, 02 Jun 2022
I love the element of folklore in this; nature intertwined with adventure, constant peril, all driven by the froces which spring from childhood experiences. The name Elowen is so beautiful.

Posted on Tue, 31 May 2022
I think that story about marriage was in the Daily Mail. All I can say is that I've been with my partner for over thrity years, we have two children, we're not married and our children have had a very stable family life, no splits or affairs,...

You've made so many valid

A clever and interesting poem
