Your employer should really
Posted on Sun, 21 Jul 2024
Your employer should really take care of YOU more, that sounds horrible and stressful. As you say, one would think, with the terrible lack of experienced essential workers like you, that they would bend over backwards to keep you. I bet those...

Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024
Loved this. Eric's PTSD, how he "never rang the bell to stop the bus outside Iceland". Your poem, how the theme interweaves past and present, country and shop, then comes together at the end with fishfingers coming from both kinds of Iceland,...

Oh Luigi, I hope this doesn't happen often! I cook for just me quite a bit as I am the only vegan in our house. If you have an onion, a carrot, tinned tomatoes and baked beans, you might rinse out the sugary sauce the beans come in, and cut up...

Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024
Rhiannon, that sounds horrible! Remember you writing about tooth trouble in Covid, too. Though your poem is fun to read and makes light of what must have been a very grim experience, really glad you are pain free now!
