I like what you have done

I like what you have done with the imagery of 'Wizard Of Oz'. It's a great story/fantasy, but like all the best such tales it can be used to symbolise so much of the problems, hopes and dreams of our real world! I like the way you have updated...

I like the way you have contrasted the Queen's 70 years of kind, understanding and supportive service to Putin's despotic carelessness for human life. At this moment in history that is a very important and stark contrast, between humane service...

I enjoyed your poem relating the old story nicely! It is a great story, which can be used as a moral tale, and as a speculation about what could have happened to the children! I seem to remember reading that quite a few German cities/towns claim...

I did enjoy this continuation

I did enjoy this continuation of your Pointless saga, and Boris's continued lucky escape. It is nice to know that the French Revolution hasn't actually finished yet, but I think Boris has far more than 9 lives! He is a miracle man, who, just when...

Posted on Fri, 22 Apr 2022
Vladimir Plutinpot must have one of the thickest skins known amongst the currently living human race. Most ordinary folks like us would be quite embarassed to be causing so many people so much pain and suffering without good enough reason! To...

I did enjoy this very funny
Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2022
I did enjoy this very funny exagerated satire. It is a good series, and I feel I know the real Boris a lot better now. I am wondering whether Priti could be becoming the real power behind the throne of Boris? (Maybe she can use her charms on Mr...

Wow! This is very good Di Hard. An allegory which shows the current conflict in Ukraine and the world, in a very intelligent way. I am pretty sure I know who the Clever King is, very topical, but there are a few candidates for who the Richest Man...

I enjoyed your poem. Its a great idea, looking at your life backwards through a prism, and you certainly do that very effectively. Well chosen words!
I would be interested now to see what your earlier version of this poem was, before you...
