You,ve a keen eye for detail

Posted on Wed, 17 Dec 2025

You,ve a keen eye for detail in your narration of Dark Hedges and evoke the mystery Turlough. Those old beech trees with their intricate overhead tangle must be a magical place to visit, no wonder the faeries hang out there.

You know I've...

Hi Rhiannon,

Posted on Mon, 15 Dec 2025

Hi Rhiannon,

worms don't seem to have any idea of where they're going in my opinion, they are  just a mystery.

I'm not sure that they actually see or have thoughts as I don't think they have brains or eyes, but just slither their...

Hi Turlough,

Posted on Mon, 15 Dec 2025

Hi Turlough,

I so enjoyed reading about the faerie people, even the scary one, because I definetly believe in faeries, even though I've never come across one in real life either. I wonder! If those flickering lights were either orbs or...

Hi Penny,

I have to say this is one of the best Christmas poems I've read since:

It's so sad that there was so

Posted on Sat, 13 Dec 2025

It's so sad that there was so much conflict between Catholics and Protestants, it must have been even worse for the children, not really understanding what the problem was and having friends that came from the other side of what the parents...

This is such an endearing

Posted on Tue, 09 Dec 2025

This is such an endearing read Turlough. Your young voice comes across perfectly and I can just imagine you all sitting in the van. I'll bet those kids that made fun of your dad's van were just jealous and that's why they made fun.

Me and...

I had to look up Hristo Botev

Posted on Fri, 05 Dec 2025

I had to look up Hristo Botev, as I knew nothing about this man. I discovered he was a poet who was in exile for a good part of his life because of his beliefs in dignity and freedom. He wrote poems of the mountains, rivers and fields and there's...

Posted on Thu, 04 Dec 2025

Making plans is so easy when you're young, but as we age the anticipation is great, but the actual doing is something else that's harder to cope with.

You've explained this in your poem very well Rhiannon.

A haunting story that's

Posted on Thu, 04 Dec 2025

A haunting story that's morally concerned with the mother's distinction of right and wrong. It made me wonder how much the children missed out on being rebellious. Their lives were so controlled.

Very much enjoyed reading.

Jenny.
