I tested a new poem at the local literature group and the chair was scathing. He’s a mate so I let it go. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the rules expect polite criticism. I worked on it and submitted it to spillwords.com to test it further. Today, 3.30 ET or 7.30 in theContinue reading “Navigating Criticism: My Poem Experience”

Art and global warming
The piece explores the multifaceted symbolism of rain, linking natural phenomena to themes of life, death, and social commentary.

A farmer might need an SUV but not normal folks to do the shopping or visit mumContinue reading “Fashion”
