I am a Brummie living in Northampton. I love to write but get distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought. My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.
I think that everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .
I have a short story published in a horror anthology by @thealienbuddha in October 2022 (see https://www.abctales.com/blog/insertponceyfrenchnamehere/alien-buddhas-h...) and one due for publication in a general anthology by @LoftBooks this Autumn/Fall 2022.

The more fun you make it, the easier it is for children to learn and remember. This kind of material is ideal for educational purposes. Nicely done, Rhiannon. Paul :)

." ..each upturned plant or face, like hope..." Yes, the wonder of trees and plants in a turbulent world. We remain blessed. I found the poem emotional and quietly euphoric in the end. Very nicely done, Di. Paul :)

"... watched by guardians of moon and stars.." Thoughtful and moving. The answers are somewhere in the afterthoughts, I am sure. [Should that be "... losing their husbands"?] Paul :)
