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
shoot bursts out like a butterfly.
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...

After reading of your exhausting nights on that ward, I consider how lucky I was when I went in for my hip operation. It must also be so annoying to feel you get one problem sorted out, then another shows up and you're back to square one. ...

Good morning Di,
your information is most helpful, I only wish I had a partner who knows about computers, but sadly he's less knowledgeable than myself and never uses the computer...people must think we live off grid.
I don't ever...

Thank goodness for your daughter and her strength in not feeling afraid to speak up. It's so scary to think that there's to be a waiting list of 78 weeks to be seen at the Neurology hospital.
The NHS seem to be under so much pressure,...

Dear Jean, I'm so sorry to hear you've been through such an awful ordeal. It must have been so scary, yet your writing conveys how well you cope.
It's devastating and frightening to imagine how the hospital could be so negligent as to...

Posted on Sat, 23 Jun 2012
What a beautiful vision you've created in this poem. I was transported by your words, which is so great as I don't like to travel far these days. You brought back my own past memories of special days out.
Many thanks for sharing.

Hi Rhiannon,
Posted on Tue, 26 Mar 2013
Hi Rhiannon,
just love your countryside rambles. This was one of the more tougher description of the conditions you found yourself in, and crunching through the deep snow was related well in this poem. It must have been hard to walk, but...
