Beige Goo Splat (part 1)

By Jane Hyphen on Sun, 14 Sep 2025

My room was nothing fancy but easily large enough for my double bed, desk and other stuff. It had a high ceiling and a big view down over the town...

Hi Turlough, yes I remember experiencing this with my previous dog when he was clearly on the way out, trying to be happy around him. I hope your two dogs stay healthy for as long as possible. Thanks for reading.

Thank you, Makis. I'm on my

Posted on Fri, 03 Jul 2026

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.

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...

This is wonderful, Harry. You

Posted on Sat, 06 Jun 2026

This is wonderful, Harry. You captured that fleeting state of mind, freedom combined with optimism and an increasing independance, along with the boundless physical energy and curiosity of childhood. The rest of the world can feel fictional and...

Pure escapism or purr

Posted on Thu, 07 May 2026

Pure escapism or purr escapism, bag pus must be feeling a bit lighter bless him and his escapades; cats like Ludo keep the local vet in business. Getting knackered in the garden and then doing nothing is my tried and tested way to save money and...

Hi Jenny, good to have you

Posted on Sun, 26 Apr 2026

Hi Jenny, good to have you back and it sounds like you well enough to be able to appreciate what spring time brings. Your poem resonates with me, I love spring, there's no other treat like it and it always delivers, even those wet springs, you...
