Hi Turlough,
Posted on Sun, 30 Jan 2022
I can understand why they included it in their glossy promotional literature. A fine example of what you are seeing is written here, taking the reader on a journey to a place I'm sure not many people have been...I certainly have'nt been and will...

Hi Rhiannon,

There's nothing better than a sky that's so full of such gorgous colours. I loved your poem of expression, it went with the photo and captured that scene so well.

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.

Gosh Rhiannon, this sounds
Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

A great poem that could be lyrics to a sea shanty Turlogh,
Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

Yet there's a stunning allure that stirs...
