I had a right good laugh
Posted on Thu, 30 Dec 2021
I had a right good laugh reading this...of course as always.
I have to admit that phones are good for taking photos, but you can't beat looking through an album of memories, and like you say if the power goes out and we can't recharge,...

Posted on Thu, 30 Dec 2021
Of course the misletoe has sadly got a bad reputation, but your poetic words emanate their beauty too. I like the idea that if there ever was a secret of the berries, it's the mistle thrush who only knows, adds a touch of mystery that we as...

A poem that becomes all too
Posted on Wed, 29 Dec 2021

I love how you've woven a story into this poem Turlough. The rhythm and rhyme are perfect too. It's a sad story and reminds me of the American native indians who had their land taken away. People with power and loads of money always seem to win...

Your poem is a lovely example of...

Hi Rhiannon,
love the rhythm and rhyme of this poem, and totally agree with Di in her comment. We can all learn so much from writing on subjects...it appealed to the child inside me.

Posted on Tue, 14 Sep 2021
This was such a touching story Paul. So relevant too. The hardest part is learning to carry on after loosing a loved one, having your world turned upside down is never easy to cope with. I myself have lost so many loved ones to cancer, it gets...
