This is amazing onemorething, you've captured everything about natures wonders. The estuary is so full of suprises that we don't even think about, but you've written a poem that reminds us of that miracle of life.

Moments when thoughts and

Posted on Tue, 30 Jul 2019

Moments when thoughts and feelings take hold, needing to capture them if only for a poem or a piece of writing, even when they cause anxiety this can be a form of art.

You've built up the tension brilliantly in this part Richard. Sheldon's situation and how he's feeling really leaves the reader on edge...well! it left me anxious for the boy.
