Posted on Thu, 10 Sep 2015

How intriguing, Terry! There seems such a lot that can be unpacked from that: the fading things that come to life again, the relivening of the daze dismembering December (January sometimes seems a daze to people after the excitement of the end of...

This brought back memories!

Posted on Wed, 09 Sep 2015

This brought back memories! My mother (recently widowed) coming awhile and calling herself 'chief cook and nappy washer'! the full buckets, and the feeling, 'I feel totally ignorant, but only I can really understand and help this child at all.'...

Posted on Sun, 06 Sep 2015

This is very moving, Terry – and it 'moves' well! I take it it's metaphor after metaphor to show the distress, the emptiness, the tragedy of the feeling of hopelessness at losing her. And that certainly comes over, and especially with the...

Posted on Fri, 04 Sep 2015

Interesting comment on a hard day. You are one able to make the best of inactivity and even pain with observations and imaginative thought. This reminded me of that Poetry Monthly about windows. Your views out, and the trains of thought...
