Gold cherry

Tempestuous Stirrings

No solace found in the night, what wakes and leaves me cowering beneath quilt? My childhood imagination speaks of mischievous fears, spine chilling...

Stirring Forest

I'm truly into your story, now wondering what mode of transport Thomas has in mind for the next part of their escape.

Constable John isn't as green

Posted on Sun, 24 Aug 2025

Constable John isn't as green as he sounds, at least he would have had the sense to insist on looking upstairs. 

So many stories unfolding...what with the skelington in the back yard, and now harbouring a criminal.

You're really...

Posted on Thu, 21 Aug 2025

This is such an enjoyable read. Mary does seem to express many charismatic qualities. I can understand why you appreciated her company. I loved the magpie in her too, it reminded me of myself when younger, not so much these days now I'm getting...

Posted on Sat, 16 Aug 2025

It sounds like a midnight to sunrise party's a great idea. I hope Jon does come back for Perfdia, felt so sorry for the poor woman remembering the loss of her father.

Looking forward to next part.

I loved the idea of the veil,

Posted on Tue, 19 Aug 2025

I loved the idea of the veil, it adds a touch of magic and mystery to your story Paul. It also feels like he's between two worlds. I'm eager to read more, as I'm fascinated by the boy sittting on the outer ridge.

Some haunting moments amid...

Very appropriate words in your poem Rhiannon. We're in much need of rain where I live, haven't  had a good downpour for ages.

Let's hope Sergeant Argent

Posted on Sun, 17 Aug 2025

Let's hope Sergeant Argent doesn't search the attic, if that's where Aefelthrith has led John Thomas.

I thought it was so funny when the Sergeant was knocking on the door and fell towards Gwlady's ample bosom. Could just picture the scene...

Posted on Sun, 17 Aug 2025

Love your poem of this gifted musician. He was obviously born to play in his own unique way. 

That last stanza summed up the bohemian life he must have led, so beautifully. A taste of a style I love.

Thank you for sharing Turlough...

Posted on Sat, 16 Aug 2025

I've known kids like Marcus, from when I was young. Having a dad that's been in and out of prison, it's hardly surprising the boy's ended up this way.

Unmistakably relevant narrative to the pressures of living on a Council Estate, are...

Posted on Sat, 16 Aug 2025

You evoke the excitement of an approaching storm, which is so apt for my part of the world. The only green comes from the trees where I live, there's been no decent rain for such a long time.

Loved your poem Frances.
