so much of your imaginative,

Posted on Thu, 16 Feb 2023

so much of your imaginative, creative spirit has gone into this poem Di. You bring the story of Persephone's journey into the light from darkness to life with beautiful expression of phraseology.

A great poem that spoke to me

Posted on Mon, 13 Feb 2023

A great poem that spoke to me of being proud and thankful for legs you'd be lost without.

Posted on Sun, 12 Feb 2023

I'm so glad Calenda managed to escape. I like the way she bided her time and was clever enough to use her charms.

In quiet moments, we always remember those loved ones. It maybe an item, a fragrance, a song, or even a photo, but we can never forget their memory.

Dear Luigi,

Posted on Wed, 08 Feb 2023

Dear Luigi,

It's hard enough loosing someone special, then having to cope with the official side too, makes life so difficult.

This poem brings it all home. You are certainly not lazy, and I do hope you manage to sort everything out...
