Posted on Mon, 16 Jun 2025

Just spent a couple of hours reading this story Harry. So glad I went back to Dead Man 1. It's extremely atmospheric and the narrative really captures John's feelings as he goes about his business.

Fascinated on how you've created such...

Hi Paul,

Posted on Thu, 19 Jun 2025

Hi Paul,

the daring Siamese cat must have been very brave to chase the fox. This is the kind of situation that probably will never be seen again. It's a great poem and you've captured the moment perfectly.

Hi Maxine, I read your piece

Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2025

Hi Maxine, I read your piece with interest. Retiring for me was the best tonic being a home lover. Back in the middle 1990s and into early 2001, I worked nights in a factory, also ran a house on my own, and did three cleaning jobs too. I was like...

Hi Paul, I've got some great memories of that garden. We had an old air raid shelter at the bottom, I used to store all my garden stuff in there, it was like a small den. There were two parts each side of the path, one side was for flowers and...

I was absorbed by the pensive

Posted on Thu, 12 Jun 2025

I was absorbed by the pensive thoughts. I've often wondered what it must be like to have been a twin and that connection that cannot be disconnected, no matter what.

There's an awareness of understanding in your writing Jane.

Hello Turlough, I can imagine

Posted on Tue, 10 Jun 2025

Hello Turlough, I can imagine how you must have felt losing Penka in such a horrible way. I remember when my own little darling, a pure black kitten called Misty had haemophilia and would bleed if she knocked herself, she was so loving, but had...

Hi Rhiannon.

Posted on Tue, 10 Jun 2025

Hi Rhiannon.

I've had many cats, and often wondered where they go and if they had adventures, how far did they travel. I remember watching: The Incredible Journey about two dogs and a cat. Such a brilliant film and your poem reminded me of...

Exactly right Harry. I think

Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025

Exactly right Harry. I think it's called information overload. You know I used to love using the library and browsing, reading from books that someone has taken the time to write and get published, My motto has always been, if something is...
