Posted on Tue, 10 Sep 2024
Well chosen words in your poem, which explain exactly how so many politicians, and the media allow this awful carnage to persist, without actually doing anything very useful to cause it to end, or at least to moderate it. It is as if we have all...

Yes, a nice description of a beach at that time and place. I like the title, 'Where Maps End' particularly. There is some of that feeling at most coastlines, and deserts too. Perhaps that is part of the trouble with the modern world ; the maps...

Posted on Wed, 25 Sep 2024
I was starting to like Obogo until he decided Earth should be vaporised! He should certainly be giving Earth a bit more of a chance, but I suppose we can't entirely blame him as earth humans do seem to have lost their way a lot recently. Not a...
