My stories

Don’t Hide from Love!

They hid when they realised their guilt … But God sought them out in His grace … How pointless to think we can hide, refusing such grace at his side!

Felonious Tongue-Twister

Into the heart, out of the mouth

…your eyes, your heart’s door … Direct the attention of ears to what’s good … Not nosing out dirt … mouth trained not to hurt …

Gadgets amazing!

Fingers sense touch detail, caress; delicately manipulate surgeon’s scalpel, artists’ brush, musical melodies fast and intricate. Nerve networks back and fore from … handle and use with care!

I hope that does mean a proper respite care provision. We experienced that when caring for my father-in-law (dementia, and rather a difficult person anyway) and mother-in-law — he in official respite provision every couple of months (aprox) and...

So sorry. It's all still very raw. And the knee and shoulder, too.

No cliché way out, but looking for something small you enjoy now may be a start. And you know I'd say one does understand and you can be privately honest with him. Rhiannon

You always have a musical

Posted on Sun, 12 Jan 2020

You always have a musical flow of words, Nolan, though very concentrated, personal, and enigmatic in the sense that there seems to be much background thinking linking it all. The Bible verse seems to give the key here of the mixture of patience...

Rhyme gets a bad press

Posted on Wed, 08 Jan 2020

Rhyme gets a bad press because of forced rhymes and poor rhythm that can really be doggerel. For those of us who use rhymeing quite a lot we know it can not only be satisfying, but helpful when used to help the rhythm and the impact. Similarly,...

Posted on Tue, 07 Jan 2020

Good to share your investigations, Luigi! and the point made here somehow of the different approach to rhythm, and having to decide on how long is best for the content you have. The idea of the coda to 'round off' is interesting too. I wonder how...

yes, much interesting

Posted on Fri, 20 Dec 2019

yes, much interesting interplaying imagery - I like the 'wind stripped trees' and the cool of the darkening evening. Also the touch and contrast of warmth drawing to the homes.

But I'm glad that Man's hubris isn't ultimately going to be...

Posted on Sat, 14 Dec 2019

I too couldn't see what this was about at first. The line that stands out to me is You didn't have to go,

and the sense of why there hadn't been more sharing and acceptance of help many can't now give, had no opportunity probably...

Again, thank you for highlighting this wonderful incident,recorded in John chapter 9, and so straight-forwardly. Good 'food for thought' on a Sunday morning.
