Mother and Daughter.
I joined Abctales in 2010 and my daughter Julia a year later (2011). Unfortunately due to ill health, despite having been a prolific writer since childhood, she only managed to post a small number of pieces whilst active on the site. Following her unexpected and preventable death in 2016, I posted more of her poems on my own account under her username, which seemed a logical step at the time.
In 2019 her entire body of work was published by Cerasuspoetry.com in a book entitled WAITING FOR ANOTHER VELVET MORNING, which is still available on Amazon (proceeds to charity}. Her original work still remains on her account Overthetop.
I don't write as much now, though the occasional piece pops up once in a while.

Great writing as always, but I advise all readers to check out the illustrations.
The photographs are something else.

I'm glad this was cherrypicked (not that that's unusual for you)as this one is a slight departure in style but I love it and it flows as the waters would, and do, flow.xx

Where on earth did this come
Posted on Thu, 10 Oct 2024
Where on earth did this come from? Or what inspired it late at night?
I'm too old to remember whether or not my kids had lego but I guess they did, if their peers did.
I need a lie down after reading all that x

Thank you for letting me be the first to read and comment on this piece, also huge congratulations on the 36,600 words over 12 months.
No doubt this warrants a huge crate of cherries.
So what is the next challenge? xx

You paint your paradise with words and I like the recent use of a poem as a lead in to the journal pieces.
Crete was sold to me and my girl many years ago; now I'm back there again in spirit.
Your vast vocabulary never ceases

Always a pleasure to read. I too hope September will be better X

It's all good as always but like Marandina, I love the intros you've started doing.
In the Garden of Hephaestus (whatever that is) is a stand-alone gem X

Just got back from you-know
Posted on Sun, 21 Jul 2024
Just got back from you-know-where to find this little gem of a poem. I had to look up 'ichthyic'- never heard it before, but I like words, especially new ones.
Thank you x
