Intimacy

"But why me? I asked. I was sitting at the desk on the opposite side of The Captain. The Captain was a large corpulent man given to sudden bouts of anger. The other officers said it was best to butter him up, but I had always found him very fair, without having to slip into unfeigned sycophancy.

Really great story. Thanks for sharing. Like an updated version of one of those stories you'd read in a magazine.

Well written. Good twist in the middle there. Wasn't expecting that .

Bit strange is perfect for me

Posted on Mon, 27 Jan 2020

Bit strange is perfect for me. And I like that your poems have a specific style - they are very you, your voice - good I think when you are putting a collection together.

Posted on Mon, 27 Jan 2020

I love this one too. To describe a person as a mole is unusual but fits perfectly and then you carry it on through the whole poem. And what you say is true - if we burrow ourselves our reality does become distorted, and memories invade...

Posted on Tue, 21 Jan 2020

Catullus for me was a 30(+) year flashback.... You did Latin at uni? I only went to O level. I don't think there was an option to go further.

This reminded me of Catullus, a personal nature poem speaking to another. Loved it.

Posted on Mon, 20 Jan 2020

The writing is great and it's full of ideas. But you've got too many ideas for the story, that aren't about the story. I think, in my opinion, the 1st part prior to the detonation is too long - because it doesn't balance with this section. Which...

Posted on Sun, 19 Jan 2020

This is brilliant again, the pairing of similar words and how this carries on to a range of perspectives. And 'formic' - I love that. Never heard it before but close enough to the French and the context to guess its meaning.
