"It is a dark night
in Berlin in 1938."
You capture a sense of foreboding in one of the grimmest periods of history. This is a night of the utmost infamy. Your poem captures it so well,Luigi. Keep well. Paul

I could see those gulls and massive walls of rolling water. Such a visual, evocative poem. Just lovely, Richard. I hope you are keeping well. Paul

The dialogue is credible and the pacing is good. I like the world of espionage and intrigue that you have built here. Looking forward to the next instalment :)

Posted on Thu, 21 Dec 2023
Such a deeply personal piece. The authenticy shines through which is why I imagine so many people have connected with it. It takes a great deal of skill to pull off writing something from a child's POV and the result being credible. That's...

"But now, do they regret
behaviour of that time desire to forget?
living presently by better rules,
wishing that they hadn’t been such fools?"
I like the rhythm and rhyming in this. I imagine it took a while to...

Ah those poor bankers - blamed for all of society's ills and yet so blameless :)
There's more than an ounce of truth in here (I know....I've worked with 'em for a lot of my career).
I once looked at a "sure-fire money spinner"...

"..we soaked, dripped, dropped,
seeped right into the ground
to restore
its wetness,"
A perfect circle described so beautifully. There's a deftness to this that makes the poem so readable. Just lovely, Rhiannon. Paul

"Wind battering, rattling, howling,
thunder growling,
rain pounding, ground flooding,"
A tumultuous opening that captures a storm so well. And boy have we had some recently. They feel never ending. Maybe there are sunnier skies...

Ooh that's a cliffhanger ending. I like this shift to sentience that's unravelling.
"You're more human than a human".
It's a compelling read. Keep going!
