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.

I don't like porridge

Last posting for a bit, until I get my act together. This is one of those childhood memories that never goes away.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

a personal response to Andy Murray's loss to Federer in the Wimbledon Men's Final - probably destined for the delete button as it's a bit cheesy...

Jubilee hats

a re-write that may well not be the last but determined to get this to work somehow

Hi Mentalelf

Your words in this poem really resonate with me, as I lost my daughter 4 years ago.  Different circumstances but an avoidable death (long story).  My daughter was a Crazy Diamond too (Syd Barrett - Pink Floyd?) & used to...
