I am 41 and I'm crying

Posted on Sun, 09 Aug 2015

I am 41 and I'm crying because I can't concentrate enough to write and this is really good and catchy and true. If only there were no more reasons to cry after seventeen!

Thank you airyfairy. They really do but they're thoroughly worth it. My cats live in my heart too, they each bring something so different to our lives. Purrfect companions for writers and readers.

Love is all around, we were

Posted on Fri, 03 Jul 2026

Love is all around, we were absolutely sick of it in 1992 and we still are. It always seemed cruel to me that a man as good looking as Marti Pellow wasnae quite right in the head and it was obvious just by watching him sing that song. I also love...

Thank you, Makis. I'm on my second dog, he's 12 now. As a child I used to think about all the dogs I'd have as an adult, somehow there's not enough time. I'll probably only have two more. That's only four, unless I get a pack.

Thank you Insert. U is for underworld. Too much graphic stuff can turn a good story into a cartoon - sometimes.

Packed with wonderful detail

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2026

Packed with wonderful detail as usual. The way you describe the skies as part of the scene always creates such an atmosphere in my mind. I've got some catching up to do here but it's going to take me a while because it's so cinematic. Amazing...

Posted on Mon, 08 Jun 2026

Hi Jenny, you've been in my thoughts over the past few weeks. I haven't felt much like writing or even reading, busy at work and lots of change at home - nothing to complain about though.

Your poem brings home the process you are currently...
