Lovely, watery poem, I enjoyed the free flowing arrangement of the river's description. It's so alive and very much an apt theme, given all the bursting banks and frozen, flooded fields I observe on my drive to work.

Posted on Wed, 16 Oct 2019
Hi Rhiannon, these nature poems you write are so professional now and this is no exception. There's so much texture and the way you extend beyond the visual confines of the scene, 'enjoying the expanse as if they could fly' because that's how it...

What a descriptive snap shot of the sea and its natural surroundings. I love the way you've included sound in this, the gentle booming, also the scent - of seaweed and of course the coastal flowers so beautiful at this time of year.

I am 41 and I'm crying because I can't concentrate enough to write and this is really good and catchy and true. If only there were no more reasons to cry after seventeen!

He lived and breathed his profession and those in the know could tell from the off. I was worried about him sitting there squashed into his seat, I hope he got the job. Every town needs good bakers.

That sounds wonderful, Jenny. Reading poetry under shady trees in beautiful Canterbury. Memories of peaceful times, friendships and opportunities. Snapshots in time cherished forever.

Alive n 25, Kris that is a good place to be and keeping fit too. That was some achievement keeping that going and with well-crafted lyrics and tempo that plays in your head as you read. Very well done. It would be great to hear you perform it....
