These are terrible, terrible

These are terrible, terrible times Ralph. I've tried writing about this horrific situation myself but I can't find the words to describe the horror and dread that I feel inside.

The last two lines of your poem are perfect.

This is a gorgeous poem Socialeaf. It brings back memories of similar experiences with my own kids and my own parents.

If I were to write my version it would include the words tears, clinging and worry. Yours is much nicer.

Great writing Jane, to the extent that you're making me feel like I'm at a point somewhere between inadequate and obsolete.

Lovely words Jenny.

Lovely words Jenny.

They make me think of our dog, Snezhinka. We rescued her from the street when she was a pup so she's still a bit wild, spending a lot of time alone in the forest. I'm sure she has delusions of grandeur.

Don't let go of that flimsy

Posted on Tue, 10 Oct 2023

Don't let go of that flimsy branch Jenny. A bit of mulch round your roots and a mild winter and you'll be grand, I'm sure.

I completely agree with what's been said here about escapism. Reading the words of others and writing my own takes...

Great story! I enjoyed this... both parts. But I'm worried that if there is a part three it might be set in a JML women's refuge.  

Vanessa should make him listen to 'The Gift', the song by the Velvet Underground. That would make him think...
