Seems quite a 'rough jewel', wants to help the lady, but is frustrated with himself how his hang-ups and irritations roughen his tongue and shorten his patience, sharpen his manner. Rhiannon

I'm sorry I missed this Jenny. And have missed you writing recently. I hadn't heard of this lady. Quite some walk! Rhiannon

Just a few lines expressive
Posted on Wed, 28 Feb 2024
Just a few lines expressive of the trouble of war. There is so much war around the world, and much we rarely hear about.
When we were growing up our father couldn't really talk about the war (WW2) with us, though he got frustrated at some...

I don't think I understand
Posted on Sun, 25 Feb 2024
I don't think I understand the 'warm gun' phrase though maybe it is conjuring up how we can selfishly grab what will (we think) bring us happiness, without care for harm that the action may bring to others.
I like your concentration on the...

Your picture (attractively
Posted on Sat, 24 Feb 2024

I liked the way you described
Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024

Posted on Wed, 21 Feb 2024
I found your poem and that of Kipling (which I hadn't read before) interesting and descriptive of the pull of the open space (I imagine a similar pull felt often by many to be up in mountainous widlerness) and the conflict of danger and...
