Who
dusk arising said:

Well I gues the answer to the question Who? is our Fay, lover of the natural world with the salt of Cornwall in her veins.

Wonderful wordsmithery delivering wild, coarse, ruggedness of this storm torn coastline which makes it so attractive to us soft bellied land lubbers from afar.

Aye but deep in me bones is a Cornishmans mettel.

Easily explained in terms of surface tension and all that, yet so damn reductionist . You\'ve liberated the bubble, and cloaked it in just the right amount of your magic, Fay. There could be no more appropriate title here.

There is magic in the colourful bubble hovering in the air for that short time.

And see how a sray of bubble floating on the breeze bring squeels of fun, laughter and chasing from the vibrant young souls of our children and pure joy to grown up tired bones nearby.

Yes your poetry brings us close to the wonders of that swirling oil opaque flesh of a bubble and the wonders of creation. Such simple pleasure full of mystery, imagination and yes, i say it again, joy.

Such a devastating loss has hung heavy over my own family (my sister & her husband) for over twenty years and I fear the hurt is the same today as it ever was ....

Excellently addressed & subsequently executed dear Fay

tender, timeless, and piercing. Dusk makes a keen observation, that the mother\'s poem will evolve from this pitiless foundation, build on it, not forsaking these keen initial moans, but building upon the wound, then its jagged scar, and gradually healing, but never without feeling its bitter core. You made my evening meaningful. That\'s why I read these poems.

Such beautiful words Fay,. It is so hard to lose babies. Joyce and I had a friend who unfortunately lost two babies, such hard times.

Your words truly evoke the depth of sorrow, that is so somberly visible on a mother’s face.

A very heartfelt piece dear Fay
Sad and full of emotions
They left with plenty of memories for us to live

\"I know what it is that troubles you, for I\'ve been here the whole time. You worry about the presence of your life within the absence of mine.\" - Words of a son written for his mother. Perhaps that may have been such a child\'s response. I enjoyed the read, Fay.

Colossal poem. The ones who sacrificed themselves for us, and the ones they leave behind. Life goes on, we know that, we\'re here living it and thankful for it.

Such a loss is felt daily for life and it\'s poetry will change as the years pass. Coming to terms with such loss and grief is a lifetimes burden. A challenge to any perception of faith but a torchlight in the dullness of religious bigotry.

The cycle which is fundamental to everything, including the Universe, neatly captured there, Fay.
For me a great example of the way poetry in skilled hands can define a primary truth succinctly. Thanks.

The truth of learning to live a life of fulfilment. Learning to dance in the rain and the sun. This actually is quite touching, dear Fay. Your words built a physical construct there. I am moved. Thank you.
