Aren't dreams elusive. It's
Posted on Mon, 11 May 2020
Aren't dreams elusive. It's as if we've travelled into another dimension and had some wonderful experience, but then have no idea exactly what happened as we become more awake and aware of day to day routine.
Thank goodness for dreaming...

I think we're all going through the same experience as you, I know I am, but the difference is thankfully I'm retired and enjoy dreaming and having the time to just be without any guilt.

This poem reminds me of when
Posted on Mon, 11 May 2020
This poem reminds me of when I was a child, how I would believe that everything in life had a soul, even down to a sweet wrapper left in my pocket. I could never throw anything away...even bus tickets. Mum was always having to go through my...

What a great idea that metaphor is, for burying a stone as if it were a cold heart, as if it were a seed that a mountain might sprout from. Such powerful lines.
Then the tenderness of germinating it with love.
Really liked this...

Some dreamy lines in this
Posted on Wed, 06 May 2020
Some dreamy lines in this poem Jane. There is a significance of a longing for space to spread your wings and break free, but being held down and loosing your way. Does this have anything to do with the lockdown and not being able to see family...

Hi Rachel,

Hi Rachel,
you capture the loneliness of distance from love in this poem, especially in the line:-

and the warmth of another,
I do not remember love;
