Parcel for you...Part 22
The air in the car was filled with the familiar scent of Annie, a stuffy mix of patchouli and clothing which had been put away slightly damp. Despite...

Too Many Tabs Open
I’ve got too many tabs open in my head. Even at night I don’t close them just in case they disappear forever. A classmate I admired, the name of a...

Sparkly Little Paula
I wrote this for International Women's Day but as often, I'm too late for the IP. It's based on a true story of my school friend, Paula Dale.

Parcel for you...Part 21
Annie was as much part of the modern world as Spencer, in that she was unsentimental about people’s weaknesses, unsympathetic to the experiences...

Entertaining but too bloody
Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024
Entertaining but too bloody true, reminds me a bit of 'The Thick of It'. Boris used to come into a place where I used to work, the scruffy bumbling thing he projects blinds you like a mist. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when the...

Father of the bomb. Imagine
Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024
Father of the bomb. Imagine pushing the boundaries of science to invent something groundbreaking, literally, then being tortured by the results. You've captured the sense of confusion and torture and the feeling of something swelling internally,...

You always take us with you,
Posted on Fri, 24 May 2024
You always take us with you, Rhiannon and it feels almost like a mini holiday, reading your poems and the way you capture nature's elements. I could swear my body temperature changes as you describe waterfalls and mists.

Really enjoyed. I suspect Anthony knew before his passing, even if Marta is still oblivious.

This is so beautiful,
Posted on Sun, 26 May 2024
This is so beautiful, illustrating a woman's life choices through the ages, how they adjust around her physical self and the mind adapts to accept the changes. No regretting or forgetting, her fading has an element of satisfaction. She lived her...

Posted on Wed, 22 May 2024
This is a suffocating read, something like a dream or nightmare in which you are trapped. The addition of a train only adds to the claustrophobic atmosphere and the feeling of life being out of control and bad times ahead. Look forward to the...

We could have done everything

We could have done everything better. Very creative with the concrete foundations of a wonderful poem.

This reminds me of when I was
Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024
This reminds me of when I was a child visiting Llanbedr and every year when we arrived, the same man was seated on the same bench, to the point where we always looked out for him and waved. The spirit of him must still be there. It's wonderful to...

Your powerful imagination
Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024
Your powerful imagination allows you to revisit the holiday and the waterfall whenever you want to, Jenny. I bet you remember the scent of the magical air around the waterfall. Apparently water has a memory and everything which passes the water...

Those girls weren't protected
Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024
Those girls weren't protected because they were poor and very vulnerable and the perpetrators WERE protected because of their own identity. To a certain extent they still are being protected. They are referred to as a 'grooming gang' whereas...
