Oh dear! Poor Archibald

Posted on Tue, 05 Jul 2022

Oh dear! Poor Archibald really hasn't got a clue. I did laugh out loud at the message he left on the phone, even though I know it must have been such a shock. But even though he's so insufferable, it's hard to be mad at Archibald because he's so...

You've given so much thought

Posted on Tue, 05 Jul 2022

You've given so much thought to this relationship Jane. I can feel the tension as I read. You've also perfected their impressions of each other, with their different aspirations.

Looking forward to reading more.

Jenny.

I love the mystery of Sarah,

Posted on Tue, 05 Jul 2022

I love the mystery of Sarah, she reminded me of a man I once knew who would walk around the streets of Bristol in the early 1970s. I always remember seeing him on Park Street. He dressed like a tramp with an old torn overcoat fastened at the...

This sounds like quite some

Posted on Tue, 05 Jul 2022

This sounds like quite some escapade Rhiannon. I can imagine when you're young there wouldn't be much of a problem, but your poem describes many obstacles, it must have been a demanding trail to follow, but at least you had some great views as...

This poem has such a soft and gentle flow Rachel, makes me think of peace and quiet in the early morning as the sun just starts to rise.

Hello again Di,

Posted on Sun, 26 Jun 2022

Hello again Di,

you know a memory just came to me of when I was working for an animal feed company down at Avonmouth Docks. It was for a company called BOCM Silcocks back in the early 1970s. I worked in an office with ten other people. We...

Love your showing of this

Posted on Fri, 01 Jul 2022

Love your showing of this tale in your poem Paul.. Especially like the lines:

So she fled into the cover of forest,

Thid poem is so eye catching, it makes me feel like I've been on a walk with you. Especially loved the lines: 

At road's turn down to the beach, shade spread wide
