Mother and Daughter.
I joined Abctales in 2010 and my daughter Julia a year later (2011). Unfortunately due to ill health, despite having been a prolific writer since childhood, she only managed to post a small number of pieces whilst active on the site. Following her unexpected and preventable death in 2016, I posted more of her poems on my own account under her username, which seemed a logical step at the time.
In 2019 her entire body of work was published by Cerasuspoetry.com in a book entitled WAITING FOR ANOTHER VELVET MORNING, which is still available on Amazon (proceeds to charity}. Her original work still remains on her account Overthetop.
I don't write as much now, though the occasional piece pops up once in a while.

Things I did know and things
Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2024
Things I did know and things I didn't - like Penka's penchant for climbing trees.
Always a pleasure to read. I too hope September will be better X

It's all good as always but

It's all good as always but like Marandina, I love the intros you've started doing.
In the Garden of Hephaestus (whatever that is) is a stand-alone gem X

Just got back from you-know

Just got back from you-know-where to find this little gem of a poem. I had to look up 'ichthyic'- never heard it before, but I like words, especially new ones.
Thank you x

I have many favourite bits

I have many favourite bits from this piece Terry...Crado in the wash basin (as above) being one, but possibly my favourite is Hi Risk Anus. No need to guess where my vote is NOT going.
I love that despite the recent climate induced...

Finally got round to reading

Finally got round to reading this Terry. You are sickeningly good with words but managed to upturn my permanent frown into something resembling a smile.
Strange that Frank Ifield's demise didn't reach the news here. Too much politics....

I'm still trying to work out

I'm still trying to work out the link between riding a bike everywhere and being a vegetarian. I'd put in an emoji here but Samsung tablet won't let me.
Worrying that's why my podiatrist isn't doing too well with my ingrown toenails...do...

Brilliant! So much I can
Posted on Thu, 30 May 2024
Brilliant! So much I can relate to in this, especially the food (I don't remember being fed anything other than offal and porridge by my mother - there's a short piece about that on Abc somewhere). The other thing was the English Lit O-level...
