Glancing Back
We stood at lakeside...camera poised, I thought about time flowing rapidly; imagined we were two water lillies floating on calm water, laughing at...

Shelter For The Weary
Each year I journey through the seasons where guardians commune with earth, share awareness of mother nature's embrace; a place where the elemental...

Under Late Spring Sky

I can identify with this poem
Posted on Fri, 18 Jul 2025
I can identify with this poem Rhiannon, not as a child, but as an adult. My partners idea of a short walk is completely different to mine, though he's more aware these days of how far I can actually walk. I can recall a walk in St Ives that took...

Poor Perfidia, pressures
Posted on Tue, 15 Jul 2025
Poor Perfidia, pressures mounting for her. Loving the detail of the small dark cloud hanging above Jon's head grinning. The beguiling magic is always present, knowing it has the upper hand.
Great to see you got the Pick Of The Day Penny....

I just love the banter
Posted on Thu, 10 Jul 2025
I just love the banter between them all. I too wonder what happened to Anty Marj? It seems like it's going to take longer to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the shop.
You've got the conversations between them spot on, and I can...

Posted on Thu, 10 Jul 2025
This has got to be one of my favourite poems by you Rhiannon. It spoke to me of cooler days in all this heat.
It was such a pleasure to read, and one I'll come back too many times.
Thank you for sharing.
Jenny.

Tbe idea of You must not turn
Posted on Thu, 10 Jul 2025
Tbe idea of You must not turn your back,on those tigers in a dream, tells me that obstacles being faced in life should be tackled head on.
Can you die in your sleep? That's also an interesting question, that I've never thought of.

I think I'd be like the lady
Posted on Tue, 08 Jul 2025
I think I'd be like the lady in your poem. Remembering younger days is a special gift when you're old, something nobody can take away.
A realistic poem of acceptance that I think I would relate to in later life.

The beauty of Bulgaria and
Posted on Wed, 09 Jul 2025
The beauty of Bulgaria and your own surroundings shines through in your writing Turlough, even with its ups and downs.
I must admit I could do with air conditioning at the moment, it's so hot even at 10.20 am in the morning, and it's about...

Posted on Mon, 07 Jul 2025
I don't think I'd have hung around with all that noise and disorder, and that poor woman stuck in her chair! Poor soul.
But you're right about shopping streets turning into abandoned film sets. On the occasions I do go into town, it's so...
