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...

Hi Jane.

sounds like Annie's having the time of her life...good for her is what I say, because she's young and learning so much about the world.

It's funny how as we get older we become more concerned about dirt and germs. I...

A powerful message of hope in

Posted on Wed, 10 Apr 2024

A powerful message of hope in this perceptively drawn story Paul. I like the way you handle his logic thoughts about the salesman, yet surprises himself by actually paying for the glasses.

Hi Dougie,

I found this poem so moving

Posted on Thu, 04 Apr 2024

Your scenic walk has so much

Breathtaking as always.
