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...

Land of Make Believe
Being human, what pain, what peril! I can probably count on one and a half hands the times I’ve felt truly happy, at least as an adult, and they...

Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024
That sounds similar to some of my dreams, Jenny. In many ways they're so much more exciting than real life and are to be appreciated. It sounds almost like you went around the world. Some people say that the faces you see in your dreams are...

Posted on Sun, 28 Apr 2024
I enjoyed the way you describe the branches as outstretched and welcoming of all. A tree holds no prejudice and they're such generous spirits but beautiful too, what more could you ask? We are planning to have a lovely mature cedar removed...

Posted on Thu, 02 May 2024
All this technology which is supposed to make life easy is leaving us incredibly vulnerable. There's something comforting about vinyl, you can hold it like a photograph and money too. The replacement of the physical with the virtual makes us feel...

This is lovely, Rhiannon.

This is lovely, Rhiannon. They do like to put themselves forward as volunteers in the garden and with endless colour combinations and slight variations in shape, to charm not chime. Even the unopened buds are so pretty.

Hi lenchenelf, thank you for your comment. I agree, the Collieries fit very well with the theme of the poem. I can't imagine how much toil, human endurance, pain and suffering went into those mines and how rich it made just a few. It set the...

Posted on Wed, 17 Apr 2024
Hi Jenny, of course I'm not offended. Poetry should always be open to interpretation I think. I'm not sure exactly what the secret is myself but I felt it in the plants and flowers, they whispered to me, not in any language I could fully...

This is delightful, Jenny. I love mice, I actually saw one today, scurrying in a polytunnel., they do have important business to do. Segments of sun, yes, I want a whole orange sun for the whole day.

Thank you for your great comment, Di. Annie is one of those obliviously selfish people who look great on paper but in real life, leaves a trail of frayed nerves behind, especially the nervous system of their nearest and dearest. Spencer doesn't...

Posted on Fri, 15 Mar 2024
Wow, that was like riding some rhyming river rapids, twists and turns, dunked then re-surfaced but fast flowing, dangerous in places. I agree with others, this should be performed because the little man who performs it inside my head doesn't do...

Love this, Jenny. It's like a massage. The drums played along with the words and those images from the natural world. It just works really well.
