Such a lovely passage you’ve
Posted on Wed, 25 Aug 2021
Such a lovely passage you’ve woven of the day dispersing into night within a forested background, and ending with a child's sleepy end of day. Beautiful words and visions in this poem make me remember my long ago, childhood secure, drift offs to...

Such a lovely window you've given us to look out upon those nocturnal creatures. Captivating poem Jenny, so well composed, and one I will read again.

I like the way you start,

The beauty of a slow day,

Love this introspective piece
Posted on Thu, 22 Jul 2021

I've just read your lovely
Posted on Thu, 01 Jul 2021
I've just read your lovely poem and you do have a talent whipping words into vivid expression that takes us on your journey. I stood on the hill and felt the winds that swayed the wheat fields and watched the colors of the day curious too of...
