I love the mystery of those

Posted on Tue, 01 Jul 2025

I love the mystery of those blackbirds, crows and rooks, especially when they're perched on Billy's arms. It feels like there's a time lapse, but for the guy in the Liverpool football shirt shocked at the strange sight.

Looking forward to...

Posted on Wed, 02 Jul 2025

You've written a sensitive poem Turlough, with honest compassion for those going through appalling, aggressive suffering.

I can only echo many others oppositions to such atrocities.

Posted on Fri, 27 Jun 2025

I'm so sorry to hear of the pain you are feeling Jane.  Losing a pet is devastating, especially when they've been such a big part of your family.

Hi Turlough,

your observationhs in the mall were amusing, reminds me of the Outlet village here in Swindon, right by the Steam museum.

Your mention of searching for greengrocer's and fishmonger's being a fruitless mission, rings so...

Posted on Mon, 23 Jun 2025

As I'm reading I'm seeing an element of myself in your story. I had the chance to stay on at school and go to art college, but decided in the end money was more important. It would be good to think I had another self, who actually did go to...

Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025

Hi David, there's no way I would go to Glastonbury festival now, far too busy there for me at my age, and as for camping now...well I can't think of anything worse. 

You were lucky to go there in 1987, it's more than I've achieved in my...

Posted on Sun, 22 Jun 2025

Your poem is a jewel to treasure Frances. It reminded me of my own early days back in the early 60s, I used to go through my late mum's jewel box with her necklesses, brooches and bracelets. I still have some of her jewels to this day, which I...

I can just see the expression on Gwladys face, poor woman never gets a moment to herself. Though It was so amusing to read.

Fun to read as always Phil.
