A tough read, well-written.

A tough read, well-written. Little observational touches helped draw me in (pills in dosette box etc) and the thought processes and dialogue were really effective and affecting in their own way. Good work

Very affecting and honest. Tidy writing throughout too, you put yourself into it and it carries over to the reader. Lovely piece

Nicely done. Something

Nicely done. Something different. Alliteration and sound and feeling. Like the word combinations - murmur curdles / rush chasmed / susurrus spray. Like this willingness to play with and create new images and ways of presenting words, it's brave...

Interesting piece. It's all
Posted on Tue, 23 Jan 2018
Interesting piece. It's all relative, experience of life, and it feels a joyous, pretty moment. The title feels well chosen, in that way that there is often explaining. I may be reading it wrong - it's late. Much enjoyed though, good work

Nice images, nice alliterative touches, nice compound words. 'A dot of momentum - ' is a pretty close. Enjoyed.

Real strong work. Thoughtful, touching, entertaining and funny too. Nice tone/ way of relating this to the reader, too... natural. Props, much enjoyed.

Ah 'ferns like dinosaur kits'
Posted on Sun, 17 Sep 2017
Ah 'ferns like dinosaur kits' is GENIUS... so much to appreciate here, 'shadow-silt nestled', rattle of pretty alliteration in 'emerald mosses' myriad mound', little touches like 'bright grass-mass' you can see how much craft and thought has gone...
