I was so moved by this

Hi Yutka,

Hi Yutka,
this was such a skilful, mesmerizing poem, that captures so many imaginative metaphores,

I like the rhythm and rhyme
Posted on Mon, 05 Aug 2024
I like the rhythm and rhyme in the first part of this poem Rhiannon. You pick up on not only the heat of the summer, but also the high emotions all around the country. Anger doesn't get anyone anywhere as you describe.
We had a rain storm...

You managed to fit so much
Posted on Mon, 05 Aug 2024
You managed to fit so much into this poem Ed, and embraced every moment. In Hyde Park with Mick Jagger stands out for me, when he read that poem in tribue to Brian Jones and they released all those butterflies. Although I wasn't there, it must...

You've really caught the atmosphere Phil, it was like watching a thriller with Josiah and Archbald tied up with sacks over their heads.
I wonder! What Samantha's next step will be. As always looking forward to finding out.

Hu again Turlough,
It's horrible to imagine the temperatures you contend with, makes me realize how I shouldn't really complain about our heat. Those poor souls in Malomirovo, it must be devastating for them.
I think the heat here...

Hi Turlough, just finished reading your July diary. I thought to myself! What a great name your Chinese friend Echo has, it sounds quite spiritual. It must be so great for her to have a farmhouse to escape from her apartment. She's very lucky to...

Posted on Wed, 31 Jul 2024
