Life is for the Go Getters

By Jane Hyphen on Wed, 16 Nov 2022

Life is for the go getters. Pause and watch, open-mouthed as they gulp the here and now. Observe through a long lens, how they stuff themselves, like...

They've Closed the Road

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 07 Nov 2022

Have you heard, they’ve closed the road. Black ice reflections deep, like a mirror from the archives. We don’t want to see ourselves like that. There...

The Wanderer

By Jane Hyphen on Thu, 22 Sep 2022

Fog smothers your guiding lights. There’s a stirring sting of danger as you fly towards disordered planets. Dragging nothing, save the sparks of what...

Posted on Tue, 07 Mar 2023

All family treasures with much meaning, Rhiannon and prompts for so many memories and stories. That was an interesting dive into your cupboard. I'd forgotten all about those little wooden fruits with a moving beetle inside.

Posted on Wed, 01 Mar 2023

I found this story, gripping, thoroughly absorbing and gut-wrenching. There is so much magic in a garden, especially after dark. I love the analogy of the terrarium and the drama of sudden bereavement tempered by the domesticity of turnips.

Thanks for taking us on this journey Rhiannon. I can just imagine the bright shiny sky and fresh air. I drank from Evandine spring last time I was there, the tasted so pure, despite being 'unsuitable for drinking'. Such a beautiful place. I love...

Loved reading about their relationship with each other and the give and take between them. Cats generally seem to live great lives, doing what they want at the top of whatever food chain it is that they inhabit. Little Grayson sounds so sweet. I'...

Posted on Mon, 13 Feb 2023

Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's funny about the ancestral genes isn't it, kind of the genetic lottery. Swanning around in long skinnies, oh to be young again (but without all the associated anxiety).

Very true words Rhiannon, eloquently written with the rhythm of the heart. A sentiment which we need to remind ourselves of, perhaps now more than ever.

Posted on Sat, 04 Feb 2023

A beautiful, carefully crafted description of the forest and then a jarring twist which sent chills down my spine.

I've seen this first hand, a friend's large dog caught a deer and sank its jaws into the poor animal's rump. I'll never...

Perfect for young children, just the right length and some repetition. Can you draw, Rhiannon? I honestly think you could publish this with illustrations.

I really enjoyed reading

Posted on Sat, 28 Jan 2023

I really enjoyed reading about your cats and your shopping too. Clarence sounds wonderful. I lost one of mine to the road last year, on the very last of the superhot days and it honestly broke my heart. I've still got her brother, when he's not...
