The Price of Gold

By Jane Hyphen on Mon, 22 May 2023

I was late because I fell into a hole. I was desperately searching for glimmers and someone was digging for gold. The hole and I both were open...

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 16 May 2023

The farmer wasn’t keen on keeping a gander or even increasing his flock but one morning an egg rolled towards his feet and he was reminded of a quote...

Rattle

By Jane Hyphen on Tue, 09 May 2023

There’s a rattle in me, I lie low, tread lightly. From the cave where I’m most hollow, from the time where I was broken, silenced then walled up...

Posted on Tue, 15 Aug 2023

It's a beautiful trubute to a beautiful flower Ed. You could never get bored of such a powerful colour. There are some plants that never seem to give up, often the ones you don't fuss over. Never give up, a positive token from the terrace....

A perfect ghost story, really

Posted on Sun, 13 Aug 2023

A perfect ghost story, really enjoyed it. Stirring and charming in equal measure. So exciting exploring these places when you're a child although I get the impression it doesn't happen much these days.

Posted on Wed, 26 Jul 2023

I couldn't agree more with writing as a retreat and a way to harmonise, a release as in a cloud burst, only when you've got that flow though. We are so lucky to be able to express ourselves in words and understand each other albeit with many...

Posted on Tue, 25 Jul 2023

Thanks for reading Insert. I wonder if there was part of them that wanted Sandra to be eaten. On a serious note, there are a lot of dangerous dogs out there with irresponsible owners. A horror ending to the story could have been entertaining but...

Posted on Tue, 25 Jul 2023

This sounds like absolute heaven. Maria making use of every bit of space to grow plants, useful or beautiful. It's interesting the way people will add to rubbish if they see rubbish, I think it's the same with grafitti and bags of dog poo. What a...

A strong message, beautifully written.

It's the parents who have free childcare from grandparents who are the real winners. You only hope they repay the favour twice over. Brilliant POTD.

Posted on Tue, 27 Jun 2023

A wonderful tribute to our native and very vigorous growing blackberry. I have so many memories of picking and also finding a little white grub inside after biting the top off. The grubs just disappear in the jamming process. Good old-fashioned...

Posted on Fri, 16 Jun 2023

This is such a lovely story, Paul. It conveys the unease of imminent retirement and the need for something to cling to and the cat was the perfect thing. I love the leaf exchange and the tentative first steps of their relationship.

The complexity of your child

Posted on Wed, 31 May 2023

The complexity of your child going through the complex layers of the teenage years, everything coming together. It's a rollercoaster which lasts perhaps longer than the teens but if he has an outlet or two, music, the drums, then there is some ...
