Hi there Hades.

Posted on Wed, 26 Jan 2022

It seems like that last line has given you food for thought. I was just wondering why Zeus wants to see Ares? Hope there's more to come, or even the beginning of a new story.

Wishing you good luck with the future.

Jenny.

I've never heard of this little bird before. Your poem makes me want to go and read up on the Verdin.

Gosh Rhiannon, this sounds

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

Gosh Rhiannon, this sounds like some trek and quite a challenge with being so slippery in places. I hope you are okay after the fall, it can be very painful. 

The poem and photo described give a sense of real adventure to your roaming, and...

A great poem that could be lyrics to a sea shanty Turlogh,

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

This is so haunting and imaginative, with such great rhythm and rhyme. The explanation of its seductive magnatism reminded me of the many sea shanties sung, of lost fishermen drawn to their death.

Hi Paul,

this is a fine tribute to the Wishing tree, you have so many beautiful descriptions that I connected with when I went there.  We have a similar tree at Avebury, it's up on one of the ridges, and Druids also hang offerings of...

Hi Jane,

Hi Jane,

at first I thought the photo was a shower head, but the more I look, it seems to resemble some kind of UFO. I loved the story, always appreciate reading the strangeness of these happenings, especially as I've always been a...

Posted on Wed, 19 Jan 2022

I was so fascinated by Cardinal Father John studying the violin at ten years of age, and to think that he might have been another Paganini had he not been a Doctor of the Church, he must have been so talanted. Also I would agree with him about...

Hi Hades,

Posted on Tue, 18 Jan 2022

I think Malbourne got his just reward, Hornblende was right about him, he was a bit of a bad character.

I do hope things work out for Oren Phileus, he's been through so much and deserves some more luck. You've done such a great job with...

Hi Paul,
