Phantoms

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 23 Mar 2020

Phantoms, that’s all we ever were, Vapour trails melding in the rush hour. The same shades of green flicker past And morse code blinks winter sun...

Strange Beings in Strange Times

By Jane Hyphen on Fri, 20 Mar 2020

Something changed. People crawled out from under rocks, Wiped the moss from their heads And headed out alone or in choleric pairs, To where they...

Posted on Fri, 29 May 2020

It does feel like there is a magical spell on all the land doesn't it. This weather has made everything look more like July than May and we are all slowing down but we probably needed to.

It's just really nice to see

Posted on Fri, 01 May 2020

It's just really nice to see another face coming along the road. I always try to be the one who crosses or steps out into the road but my whippets often cause me to have some delay (they always embarrass me or me them) so the other people beat me...

Posted on Tue, 28 Apr 2020

I love this, it's like a full literary meal of a poem. I particularly enjoyed your description of fallen cherry petals, 'wind-lipped , pale and panpipe soft, there could be no better way of describing them. Every line is reminiscent of the walks...

I love this, it's so classy and clean. 'Sunless pauses' and 'blind cave fish'. It's lovely to read and pure quality.

Stay safe, follow your gut

Posted on Wed, 01 Apr 2020

Stay safe, follow your gut and put yourself first. Managers might seem important but if you left your workplace they would forget your name after a few weeks. Best wishes.

Who needs god when you have

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2020

Who needs god when you have the Too Ticky. Big fan of the Moomins and trees so this is right up my street. I'm kind of jealous, I want to find my own Moomin tree. Perhaps when the lady of the cold goes away I can find some new tree friend. So...

Beautiful aren't they

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020

Beautiful aren't they Rhiannon and strangely waxy too as you describe. There are a few examples of Soulangeana in my area looking their best right now, I admire them on my singular outing of the day and they significantly improve the quality of...

Thanks airyfairy. They're

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2020

Thanks airyfairy. They're quite common I think, with a round furry body and the proboscis is like a needle, quite cute actually, well at least when you haven't seen many people for a while. You're right about our entitled stewardship of the...
