I can't believe I missed
Posted on Wed, 23 May 2018
I can't believe I missed reading this beauty Di. I love the way you describe the tiny leaves as clasped hands joined in prayer. I always love to sow marigold seeds, they're so easy to grow and your poem described exactly how they first appear....
I have to say that I really enjoyed that first stanza, I could just picture a moss covered wall and on the other side a bank leading down to a woodland of bluebells.
I had this vision in my mind's eye of a woman sitting on a cliff top looking out to sea and reminiscing of lost love. I know I'm probably miles away from what your poem was saying, but I found it so haunting and sad, yet so poetic and written...
I can understand exactly where you're coming from Richard. It takes so many hours of hard writing and searching for answers to your questions, I think only other writers really understand the amount of time that goes into putting a piece of work...
Some great descriptions here Richard, you could be describing the two crows that come to feed in our garden every morning, especially in the last stanza.
Being able to translate into poetry what you are seeing, is such a gift. You have that talent in bucket loads in this poem. I was with you all the way and very much enjoyed reading.
Feels like a true story of the way many people feel. Makes me glad I'm out of the rat race, as I hated the last job I had and couldn't wait to be made redundant.

So beautiful and mysterious.

I enjoyed your poem Di, it had a lighthearted feel to it as I read. I could feel the cool air as the turbines rotate.
Relaxing read.

Hi Elsie,

Hi Elsie,
just loved reading this piece, especially the bit about:-
Festival and carnival and fireworks to bright the dull
Seventies and eighties fancy dress and shops that sell it.
Fish and chips, cornish pasty,...

I'm very much enjoying reading these chapters Richard. Gives great insight into another time, another place in history which always fascinates me.
I'm looking forward to finding out if there maybe love in Matties eyes.
