A Moth
arqios said:
What a moving piece. The image of the moth clinging to the windscreen becomes such a powerful mirror of our own lives — fragile, buffeted, yet still adjusting, still holding on. I felt the weight of those “sledge‑hammer” days you describe, and the quiet dignity in simply enduring until small rewards — love, friendship, a meal, a book — remind us why we keep going. Thank you for capturing both the struggle and the grace in such a tender way. 🙏🏻🕊️

The Robin song
sorenbarrett said:
I love this poem. It starts free verse but with a set meter and ends in full rhyming verse. It is the development and build of this that I find most intriguing and the message sent is just as gentle and supportive as it builds as well. A most lovely piece and a fave

House of Scars
arqios said:
Tremble we may but there is a path that won’t dismay. Somehow hearing a nudge to take the good along with the bad and keep trudging forward. In the end it is uplifting, emerging. Thanks Frasmac 🙏🏻

Incredibly emotional, we all can certainly be pulled back to something that even today doesn\'t seem real. Superb and beautifully written. 🌹

I get it on one level, but on the other hand funeral for someone is really a matter of garbage disposal. He or whoever, is no longer there.

Weel, turns out they done taught us the wrang Scottish accent frae George Macdonald\'s translated novels iffen yer correct, which I shall believe you is. Thank you very much for sharing. Beautifully rendered with superb dialect and excellent details, not to mention a charming poignancy. Thanks again.

Sleeping Willow

A poem that leaves us somewhat sad and nostalgic feeling. It flows well and the rhyme makes it all the better very nicely done.
