Posted on Fri, 12 Feb 2021
Lovely, watery poem, I enjoyed the free flowing arrangement of the river's description. It's so alive and very much an apt theme, given all the bursting banks and frozen, flooded fields I observe on my drive to work.

Enjoyed this. The idea of getting dirty among nature while somehow getting your mind cleaned all at the same time. I would love a glimpse of blue sky against the bare bones of trees.

Hi Rhiannon, these nature
Posted on Wed, 16 Oct 2019
Hi Rhiannon, these nature poems you write are so professional now and this is no exception. There's so much texture and the way you extend beyond the visual confines of the scene, 'enjoying the expanse as if they could fly' because that's how it...

What a descriptive snap shot
Posted on Tue, 07 May 2019
What a descriptive snap shot of the sea and its natural surroundings. I love the way you've included sound in this, the gentle booming, also the scent - of seaweed and of course the coastal flowers so beautiful at this time of year.

I have teens and you've articulated the current situation so well. There's a huge problem with drugs too, they're dirt cheap and used in the same way we used alcohol. The pressures, choices, the constant scrutiny, exposure to everything too...

I am 41 and I'm crying because I can't concentrate enough to write and this is really good and catchy and true. If only there were no more reasons to cry after seventeen!

He lived and breathed his profession and those in the know could tell from the off. I was worried about him sitting there squashed into his seat, I hope he got the job. Every town needs good bakers.

That sounds wonderful, Jenny. Reading poetry under shady trees in beautiful Canterbury. Memories of peaceful times, friendships and opportunities. Snapshots in time cherished forever.

Alive n 25, Kris that is a good place to be and keeping fit too. That was some achievement keeping that going and with well-crafted lyrics and tempo that plays in your head as you read. Very well done. It would be great to hear you perform it....
