Hi Rachel,

What an adorable poem Penny, you've captured his essence perfectly. I'm so sorry to read Frankie has cancer, this must be an awfully sad time for you, but your poem is a great tribute to such a wonderful friend and I'm sure he knows how much you...

Posted on Sun, 26 Jan 2020
I could relate to your words in this poem. It's never a good idea to go back to old haunts because when you see the changes it's like breaking the dream and what you remember looses some of its sparkle.

Hi onemorething,
let me just first say I can't believe I missed this poem. You describe so well the abundance of beautiful wildlife that's disappearing before our very eyes.

Hi Rhiannopn,
Is'nt the makeup of the human a wonderful creation? It's only when we really think about it...as in your poem, that we realize just how incredible it really is.
A poem with a lot of thought put in.
Jenny....

Hi onemorething,
I've read this poem many times. It conjured up a picture of someone considering all the men she'd ever known in her life and reflecting on memories of being let down so many times. There's a sadness to reading it, and yet...

Much more afraid of the living -

And there are other silences of the heart
and grasps of ivies that in concealments
to break free from internal deaths and memorials,

I just love that first stanza and the comfort of making and eating homemade soup. Did you know that potatoes in soup are brilliant for the immune system?
Anyway I found this poem very tasty.
Jenny.
