Spencer's lack of emotion
Posted on Sun, 08 Dec 2024
Spencer's lack of emotion makes him sound so condescending when dealing with Vanessa, especially when he acts all calm and she feels that human condition of frustration.
Story's coming along great Jane I'm loving it.
Jenny.

Posted on Sun, 08 Dec 2024
You evoke so much history in this poem Turlough, especially in that second stanza. I really liked the lines:-
Nazi guns NATO Jets
Drowned over centuries
By the deafening sound
Of nature's silent energy

Posted on Wed, 04 Dec 2024
This is such a wonderful creation of a festive poem, that really put me in the mood for the season. Reminds me of a lost Victorian England with all the true meaning behind it, rather than the commerical money making.
Very much enjoyed and...

Hi Turlough,

You bring Kathleen to life
Posted on Mon, 02 Dec 2024
You bring Kathleen to life with your accomplished description of her and skilful rhythm and rhyme. I did feel sorry for her with receding hair, that's the one thing I dread as I get older...including going bald. ...

It sounds like nature is getting its own back Jane. I loved reading this story. I've started writing a piece on saving the countryside from development myself, I hope you don't mind.
Thanks for bringing this important subject up in a story...
