Posted on Sat, 11 Sep 2021
So kind of you to leave these lovely comments, and yes, Perfidia's character is coming into focus as all the characters within this tail soon will. I am not sure how to describe the process for me. It feels like I am walking through the scene as...

All the comments have said
Posted on Tue, 24 Aug 2021
All the comments have said what I felt- This is stark in its portrayal of humanity; the correlation of the ecological destruction and the frailty of man, these are days fraught with unprecedented global changes and in much need of helicopter hope...

The Resplendent Quetzal can
Posted on Wed, 25 Aug 2021
The Resplendent Quetzal can not survive being caged, can only live free, as all should. There is so much to interpret here, so much to question. I love the journey through your superstitions, your distrust of gods and their teachings, to follow,...

Posted on Sun, 01 Aug 2021
I like the way you start, with the gloom of the rain, the blurred, obscure vision of what lies beyond a window's watershed of raindrops. All the interspersed pieces of unclear, half heard voices mingling in the down pour, it is familiar to any...

"Two muppets and a vampire"
Posted on Wed, 28 Jul 2021
"Two muppets and a vampire" made me laugh out loud - very ingenious, the swirling virus with a thought process. A well written political lampoon.

Well constructed poem Jenny.
Posted on Sun, 25 Jul 2021
Well constructed poem Jenny. The moon’s influence poetically described in the phase of the July Buck Moon named by the Algonquin Tribe for the new antlers that Buck's grow during this season. I enjoyed how you begin with the Buck changing in the...
