Learning of Christ
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] Through ages men devised, a spectrum of belief – … Preoccupied, and rare to show compassion, love, for others’ needs to care and help, assistance give. But when of Christ they hear, and see compassion real, so many vile things disappear as like concern they feel. … And women gain respect, not treated as mere slaves …

Do we spread love?
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] A world of love – for such we long: but what to do when done a wrong? We may need justice to be done … but still true love can … restoration bring.

Very cleverly written. I too
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...

Posted on Thu, 02 Jul 2015
You have a knack of describing your feelings. When I had to wake to my father-in-law's calls, when he was still here, I got to frequently not be able to get back to sleep, and in the end found I had to mix sometimes doing something (reading,...

Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2015
I guess they'd say that we wouldn't want the 'heritage' damaged even more, the old story of 'abuse it and lose it'. I remember a lively young lady from Holland visiting Ludlow castle with us and thinking she could go climbing on the half ruined...

Can you see the stars clearly
Posted on Fri, 19 Jun 2015

Some perceptive points of understanding of the struggles of teenage years. So many are afraid to try to teach their young anything, and afraid to get close even, and listen and understand and share and love. Rhiannon

To be ignored can hurt so
Posted on Thu, 11 Jun 2015

Thank you so much again, Stephen for that thoughtful appreciation, and I am so glad you enjoy these verses. It is difficult to analyse one's own writing. I certainly try to keep a rhythm and make quite a bit of use of rhyme and consonant and part...
