I did read this thought
Posted on Wed, 14 Aug 2024
I did read this thought provoking and thought reactive piece two or three days ago, but it was difficult for me to say anything immediately. I respond now to say its a great piece, drawing from so much of what has been going on recently in...

I did like this poem because it does really make us realise how little we do know about everyone else's life. We just have snapshots of others' lives,or shorthand conversations with them!

I do like the way you brought
Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2024
I do like the way you brought the news story to life with the protesters' hospitalisation for halucinogenic effects, after the dramatic and epic scenes of druid ceremonies and extreme climate storms. It is as if the stones fought back for their...

You have shown a good example
Posted on Tue, 16 Jul 2024
You have shown a good example of one way the modern world is getting more complicated. As you say it does overcomplicate the once simple act of dropping someone off at a concert or in town/city. We have a clean air zone in Sheffield now, but I...
