Hi Jenny, earth and sky
Posted on Sun, 23 Mar 2025
Hi Jenny, earth and sky connected through rain. I never thought of it like this, the constant cycle of drawing up and then replenishing us. It's so forgiving. Thrive in radiance, they do after a good soaking. I think we need it right now. A...

A song to hold you in time,
Posted on Wed, 19 Mar 2025
A song to hold you in time, Penny and keep the memories alive, those feelings that stirred all those years ago are still there, you just need a channel to take you back, a song or a scent. It must be both comforting and painful. I hope you are...

This is one of my worst
Posted on Tue, 04 Mar 2025
This is one of my worst nightmares. Everyone always says, they won't hurt you..You've managed to capture the banality of extreme misfortune, a macabre event in a beautiful pastoral setting. There's no negotiating with those beasts.

This is very stirring, like a peice of music. I felt almost dizzy reading the words and thinking of those gigantic planets and the associated elements. Wordless companion, you bring them alive beyond the science of dry facts.

Marmite on toast isn't for me
Posted on Sat, 01 Mar 2025
Marmite on toast isn't for me, Rhiannon but I might try a nip in a soup or stew, that's a good idea. I wish I did like it on bread because it's a very useful product. Recently I've got a thing for Horlicks and that seems to divide people too,...

You don't forget these
Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2025

This is a very unique poem, as are cows, tampered with by us and their extraordinary lives, calfs torn away and the endless milking. I love the contrast between the wild creatures and pastoral scenes.

He lived and breathed his profession and those in the know could tell from the off. I was worried about him sitting there squashed into his seat, I hope he got the job. Every town needs good bakers.

That sounds wonderful, Jenny.

That sounds wonderful, Jenny. Reading poetry under shady trees in beautiful Canterbury. Memories of peaceful times, friendships and opportunities. Snapshots in time cherished forever.
