Love this. The deserted beach

Posted on Fri, 17 Dec 2021

Love this. The deserted beach, the slow rythm of the waves and the rythm of something held, pushing to get out. Soft but unforgiving.

Love this tribute to our

Posted on Mon, 13 Dec 2021

Love this tribute to our winter bird. I read recently that they follow us around because they think we're wild pigs but that could just be me since I'm always disturbing the ground, although not with my snout. Their bold nature and tenacity...

Posted on Sat, 04 Dec 2021

'Twisty seclusion' I really enjoyed your poem and the accompanying photograph. It looks like a lovely spot for tapping into 'unrestrained pulsing earth's wonder'. I wish I had a bit more space for rewilding, it makes such a difference and it...

Posted on Fri, 03 Dec 2021

Ah, that's my daughter's middle name and one of my favourite trees. I think you've paid a fine tribute to this beautiful tree, covering all of it's characteristics. I love to watch the blackbirds downing the berries in one. 'Solitary wanderers',...

One of those pieces which had the rare effect of making me feel as if I was being squeezed while reading but in a good way. It's divine.

This reminds me of a rich, still life oil painting, each time you look at it, you see something different. A beautifully verdant, quiet journey into a dream.

Brilliant ending. I hadn't

Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021

Brilliant ending. I hadn't heard the word ecocide before. It feels hopeless but as Di-Hard said, that is the worst, most defeatist way to address it. My kids are adults now, I worry for their kids. People come into the garden centre where I work...

I felt this lowering my blood

Posted on Thu, 18 Nov 2021
