Rain heavy air, clear, fresh colours drenched. I walk through clinging grasses like hands welcoming. Summer condensing on twig ends in rowan berries...

I really like the role Spencer is taking on "That's a very nice cup of tea, Spencer". I wonder how Vanessa is shaping his personality by how she is, how she treats him? What might another robot be like in another couple? Everything about your...

Glad you chose to honour them with one of your wonderful poems! I have always thought they are magical, fairytale flowers, they have such complex shapes, don't they? Wonder how grannies must have looked very flamboyant if their bonnets really...

She does? Wow, that's interesting! Kudos :0) I nearly tried, but then reckoned the vegan milk is so expensive anyway, probably not worth risking wasting it all if it didn't work. I get the yoghurt when it's reduced as a treat. Does Priyatelkata...

Listening to the news, we really are so lucky, as you say! I like very much how you make food sound like a force, like water or electricity, that can be blocked - your rhyme and rhythm helps with that feeling of movement

"In our superstores the yoghurt aisles
Are measured not in feet but miles"
