My stories

Poor Mary

A sad tale about the murder of Mary Kelly a prostitute in the 1800s.

Missing You

A written piece of love...death and the Summer lands.

Dwellers of the New World Chapter Seven ( Pt 2 )

Under A Blood Moon

Dusky maiden under blood moon, hearing your whisper radiate...

Getting it Right

Not sure if this poem will make any sense to the reader. I was a bit baffled by it myself. It just came to me.

A great description of a tranquil walk through a grassy glade. I could just picture the scene at the edge of the wood.

Enjoyed reading.

Shadowy images appear to me

Posted on Tue, 20 Jul 2021

Shadowy images appear to me reading your poem and hearing the great music, especially in that fourth stanza.

I loved this poem as a whole, but those lines:-

Ethereal mist drifts across moss-covered gravestones,

midnight...

Well told story that leaves

Posted on Wed, 21 Jul 2021

Well told story that leaves the reader feeling so sorry for the parents, and the sad truth of how the Sammy's of this world just don't know how to cope with life.

Posted on Tue, 20 Jul 2021

That was so sad that Sophia Cubbett died after giving birth, I can't imagine this scenario, it's just unimaginable and so cruel.

I ejoyed the part about Albert Smith, he sounded like a lively character and Maria's writing came across...

Hi Hades,

Posted on Tue, 20 Jul 2021

Hi Hades,

on your question, I think it would bring some drama into the story, if you write about the shoot out at the jail, showing how the trouble came about, perhaps a couple of prisoners revolt, their need for freedom is so strong....

I feel quite sorry for Mark

Posted on Tue, 20 Jul 2021

I wonder if Hornblende will believe Mark when he tell him of his knowledge of Orion...

So, this is the night Oren

Posted on Fri, 16 Jul 2021

So, this is the night Oren has been waiting for. Mark has definitely lost the plot, and his poor inocent dog Eddie didn't stand a chance, very sad.

Now I just want to know more about the black starless void...I wait with anticipation....

Took my time reading this part, there's so much of what Mark is thinking, which you express so well and is so readable.

Congrats, I'm so pleased to see this cherried, definitely well deserved.
