This Cannot Be Our Home

Parables of Clippety (15) - The Overworld
There was a tense silence with both women wondering why the receptionist looked so concerned. A very short man with a hooked nose walked over very...

Fulfilling to read, such a treat Di. I love 'bird song chips clear air', because they do, also love 'smelting life from light'. You've crammed so much quality in that I think I'll need to go back and re-read.

Posted on Wed, 06 Apr 2022
I like the way you've woven your adventures in the sensory experience; aromas, sounds, 'resembling a clutch of herbs'. Our brains seem to hang onto the sensory memories with astonishing accuracy, a song or the scent of a perfume acting as a time...

I really enjoyed this poem, all the answers there in the woods. I think we have the same notion of a god. Beautifully done.

Anemone, what a beautiful name for a fairy. I can just picture the twins, Alvar and Almalric playfighting and flying around the forest. I must say, I really envy their lifesyle, especially at the moment.

I love this. The picture you've painted is beautiful and pure escapism. Yes I do believe. I was once lucky enough to see a tiny tiny man, not a fairy, well not winged anyway. I was a small child but I know what I saw. I've written about it on...

Beautiful lines for the season Rhiannon. I haven't seen any celandines yet but lots of aconites out here with their little collars and of course all the primroses and daffodils blowing their trumpets, 'heralding the coming spring'. Perfect.

Love this, so unique. In the end there is always a new way to create but I can't help thinking of that ear, all half-pecked and covered in dirt.

Thank you so much L for reading and commenting. I had to go back (far back) in time to find this voice and remember how much I wanted to resist everything than comes with becoming a woman. It didn't help having male relatives who were...

Thanks for the cherries Insert. Yes, I think I might be open to that.
