Is That All There Is

By Jane Hyphen on Sat, 26 Aug 2023

Chuck sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his hands. They were smooth, like the hands of a younger man, untouched by hard graft. He was a...

I really like this, Rhiannon.

I really like this, Rhiannon. It's easy to forget that farmers are up and out in all weathers, at all times helping nature along. Your words are soft and powerful here, much like the lamplight.

I too love, 'birdsong ballads

Posted on Tue, 09 Jan 2024

I too love, 'birdsong ballads on barest branches'. It's something I've been noticing this week, the birds are celebrating day length. Peace is the greatest thing we can hope for and some sort of rebalancing in our economy. New year's eve truly...

Posted on Wed, 03 Jan 2024

That took a dark turn. I honestly thought this was a gentle peice about the Northern Lights, The part about the man in white fedora attacking a couple and biting them, it happens (a lot in Wales apparently). Then all sorts of carnage unfolding...

Posted on Wed, 13 Dec 2023

Your poem is very cleansing, Rhiannon. You've conveyed a strong sense of all that water rushing, studded with wintry natural features, tangled bare branches and leaf litter.

Very creepy throughout. I don't know what happened but I was throughly absorbed and very scared of Mrs Stanton.

Posted on Tue, 12 Dec 2023

This reminds me Hans

Posted on Sun, 10 Dec 2023

This reminds me Hans Christian Anderson, the morphing of dreams and reality and the falling snow. I really enjoyed it, a very professional short story with some festive magic thrown in.
