Poem of the week

I am a Fruit Cake

I am a fruit cake. I have good ideas but I never act on them. They dry out and are preserved in a sweet syrup of optimism. There are always more,...

No one comes here.

No one comes here. A sun rises each day between the faded drapes. And dust sparkles in the air, There’s no gravity, in this choked cell, it is silent...

After the Blizzard

Frozen in the ground, I found the bones of a forgotten road. Where it was so hard to dig, under scentless layers of pristine snow. An unspoilt drift...

I Name that Shoe....

I’m not particularly fussed about footwear these days but as a child it’s difficult to describe how shoes made me feel. It was as if the shoes on my...

Stay safe, follow your gut

Posted on Wed, 01 Apr 2020

Stay safe, follow your gut and put yourself first. Managers might seem important but if you left your workplace they would forget your name after a few weeks. Best wishes.

Hi Di_Hard, yes Airy and I

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2020

Hi Di_Hard, yes Airy and I are both bringing ghosts into our social circle in the absence of flesh and blood humans.

There are many interesting facts about hedges, for example sparrows won't frequent a hedge if it has a fence on one side....

Who needs god when you have

Posted on Tue, 31 Mar 2020

Who needs god when you have the Too Ticky. Big fan of the Moomins and trees so this is right up my street. I'm kind of jealous, I want to find my own Moomin tree. Perhaps when the lady of the cold goes away I can find some new tree friend. So...

This is very magical and

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020

This is very magical and light, I like the atmosphere. The distrust combined with the playful and it's true that we adapt so quickly to the unthinkable, frighteningly quickly in fact. Or maybe it was all unthinkable before but we were just too...

Beautiful aren't they

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2020

Beautiful aren't they Rhiannon and strangely waxy too as you describe.  There are a few examples of Soulangeana in my area looking their best right now, I admire them on my singular outing of the day and they significantly improve the quality of...

Thanks airyfairy. They're

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2020

Thanks airyfairy. They're quite common I think, with a round furry body and the proboscis is like a needle, quite cute actually, well at least when you haven't seen many people for a while. You're right about our entitled stewardship of the...

I love the idea of the empty

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2020

I love the idea of the empty road, being like an eel, is it sloping? And the way you've animated your surroundings in the absence of human life. Suddenly the nature around us had greater significance because it carries on, flourishes, it's so...

I don't know how I missed

Posted on Sat, 07 Mar 2020

I don't know how I missed this, what a treasure. Brain scans have shown that looking into a forest  in full leaf is restorative, rather like sleep.  Access to safe, green spaces for all - and if that isn't possible then poems like this help a lot...

I really enjoyed this, it

Posted on Tue, 10 Mar 2020

I really enjoyed this, it brought back so many memories of feeling absolutely free on summer evenings with no worries and so many opportunities stretching out, and of course trees are the backdrop of life.

I like this a lot, it's

Posted on Sat, 07 Mar 2020

I like this a lot, it's unique and reminds me a bit of Hans Christian Anderson and the way he sometimes wrote from the perspective of an object. I also like the way you have avoided the cliche of exhibiting pride around damage.
