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.

As Julia's mum, I just wish she had known how good she was. I hope somewhere, somehow, she knows about her book.
I believe she does.
On her behalf, thank you for the pick.

I've not been around Abc much, just willing this season away, but so glad I caught this.
It's beautiful, and wise, and I loved it.

I think I'm of the same generation, as all these names were familiar to me. I much enjoyed your potted history of women and their - I mean our - role in history.

I've read this one several times, and decided I really like how surreal it is...working class pigeons and blue buses...why not?
