Sorry I nearly missed this

Posted on Thu, 13 Apr 2023

Sorry I nearly missed this poem Rhiannon. I can't put into words how much I agree with you about parents on mobile phones. It breaks my heart when I see children crying out for attention, only to have a dummy stuck in their mouth, or a bag of...

Posted on Sat, 15 Apr 2023

I was most interested in your piece writing, and how you evoke the positive ideas in helping young children, to which I'm in full agreement with. Having been a nanny looking after an 18 month old child till she went to school, I believe it's not...

"I am referring, Archibold, to the unfortunate occasion on which you took it upon yourself to overtake the hearse in the funeral procession, whilst driving the car carrying the immediate relatives of the deceased."

I'm not sure why, but I got a sense of The Wizard Of Oz while reading your story. I love your imagination for originality, it shines through in your writing.

Very much enjoyed reading.

Will read part 3 later.

Posted on Tue, 11 Apr 2023

I was so immersed in your story Paul. It makes me wonder about all the missing people that seem to vanish into thin air, especially in places like the Alaskan Triangle, and the Bermuda Triangle.

There's so much out there that just can't be...

Hi Paul, 

Posted on Mon, 10 Apr 2023

Hi Paul, 

you capture the endless memories of that tragic event perfectly. I've only ever seen the film with Di Caprio in and found it to be a real tear-jerker. 

It's of value that you've written such an expressive poem and kept the...

Some great use of metaphors

Posted on Mon, 10 Apr 2023

Some great use of metaphors in this poem Rhiannon, especially;

Like a chrysalis, bud breaks

Such a wonderful image portrayed.

Enjpyed.

Another great instalment

Posted on Fri, 07 Apr 2023

Another great instalment where nothing ever seems to go to plan for Amber and Lawrence. I also thought the dream sequence of  D.S. Stone at the beginning was so funny, but could imagine quite a nightmare for him.

Please keep the story...
