So Must Night Descend Into Day

Overhead hazy brightness partially fulfilled, sails on leisurely breezes, hardly prismatic...only faint rays in pearls, sunrise dew drops detaching...

Soon Gone

Interpret as you will. Essence wrapped stars within honeyed peaks, helping trembling corn that ate breezes in a million ways, streaming paths...

Words Of Comfort

Music to my ears haunting melody, guiding thoughts – sweeping passages, recesses of mind hungering words nestled in womb... faith captured then...

Hope

This is an old poem I wrote back in the early 1980s. Why don't you be honest tell me what you're thinking, instead of humouring with shallow words of...

You have the child in Tom

Posted on Mon, 21 Oct 2024

You have the child in Tom written so well. I remember my mum telling me, I was always asking why this and why that as a child, so you're spot on.

Funnily enough I had a Hillman Imp when I first started driving, it seems strange that they...

Hi Harry,

Hi Harry,

I'm so glad that in the end you and your brother had the chance to say your final goodbyes to your mum. I think it's those close final moments, your mum would have cherished your choice of scene to spread her ashes.

Just...

I loved the way you described

Posted on Sat, 19 Oct 2024

I loved the way you described those haunting memories Harry. Isn't it heartbreaking though, when there's someone in the family that just wants to cause unnecessary anguish towards another human? I can never understand animosity, it's just not in...

Posted on Fri, 18 Oct 2024

This was so evocative of my own memories Harry. We can trigger so many long forgotton recollections from going through our dead parents attic, finding stuff that maybe we were'nt aware of when parents were alive. 

I read with great...

I can see two stories forming

Posted on Fri, 18 Oct 2024

I can see two stories forming here, one with the homeless man found in the reservoir, and the continuation of the mystery behind the masked Gemma...strange goings on all round.

Always look forward to more

Posted on Thu, 17 Oct 2024

Always look forward to more of this story Jane. I like Spencer's choice of  watching Ancient Aliens, one of my favourite programmes to watch, which I bet Spencer can relate to.

Poor Vanessa must feel so awkward after what Spencer just...

I had a brilliant boss in my last ever job, we got on really well. We had the same sense of humour and he was a people person and understood me so well. I don't think I would have minded if he'd been demoted and we were working together...infact...

Posted on Fri, 11 Oct 2024

How do you do it Phil, keep one new plot after another going? I'm so hooked wondering who this Gemma girl is now. Waiting with anticipation to find out.

Jenny.
