Hi Rhiannon,
Posted on Wed, 17 Apr 2024
Hi Rhiannon,
I agree with Di when she said: 'I love the rich variety you evoke, and their ENTHUSIASM.' It sums up my feelings too, but I couldn't have put it any better myself.
Love the wildness of this poem and those gorgeous...

A powerful message of hope in

I found this poem so moving
Posted on Thu, 04 Apr 2024

Breathtaking as always.
