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)
Right now it didn’t matter that he was growing older. The very act of starting up his old motor and taking it out felt rebellious and liberating, he...

The early hours of the morning were a magic time, he felt, when most people exist in another realm, sleeping and oblivious. The world was an empty...

Legend of the Pah - 5 (S T Vasectomy Clinic)

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...

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...

Posted on Thu, 14 Apr 2022
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.

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...
