Interesting comment on a hard
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...

Certainly surreal, Terry, and having fun with how many of the rhymes you could weave such a tale around I guess! And keep the rhythm going. It's always interesting to see the traditional mediaeval myth feel of such tales interjected with the...

Very sad. I expect if you are waiting for a possible explanation if feels like it may solve something for you, though probably it wouldn't really make a difference to the shattering bereavement. The 'whether to have a PM or not' must be so hard,...

Posted on Mon, 24 Aug 2015

the abyss of your absence

There is a lot of lovely metaphor again here, maybe rather concentrated for taking it all in? The chorus is lovely and I liked Enticing the sun into scything the night, starry-eyed very much.

Posted on Sun, 19 Jul 2015
Very cleverly written. I too like acrostic poems, but so often they do feel rather forced, but this doesn't, and the bringing in of the initial letters for each line seems very neatly done. I particularly like the lines Threatening all but...
