    If anybody is interested in reading my grandfathers journal let me know. It is posted online at the WW2 museums website :)

    Joey T Thanks so much Joey!!!

  • jeff mantel avatar

    Dramatic and well-realised Gold.dust.0523, although there are a few grammatical errors here and there

  • Joey T avatar

    A noble poem that's as relevant as ever, I think.

    Nice idea Kamal Jit Singh but the formatting still needs to be fixed

  • Kamal Jit Singh avatar

    Thanks Joey.......

  • Joey T avatar

    Interesting concept - the use of a bold font isn't necessary but that can be rectified easily enough, good job!

    Dark stuff Kelly Jean Rice

  • Jenny-Rose avatar

    Great little poem! Really quirky! Just be careful with some typo's, like 'ALive' and 'I'de'. But I still enjoyed reading this - keep it up!

    Needs a proofread but that final repeated line is fantastic Kelly Jean Rice

  • PeteThinks avatar

    I appreciated your choice to isolate some words on a separate line, because it's not too long a poem it really improved it! Great idea.

    Very engaging Kelly Jean Rice

  • PeteThinks avatar

    Liked the repetition at the end! Just one thing, is the second line the corect phrasing? You've got a good style of writing.

  • Beem Weeks avatar

    This has a cool frantic feel that really draws me in. Great piece.

    Again, another brilliant poem. I love the repetition of 'the thick' near the end, and the line 'One breath determines I am still here'

    Moving story, Peter Nunis. The old man's life and perspective were very touching!

  • jeff mantel avatar

    An interesting, sad character Peter Nunis. Is rather in need of a proofread, however.

    Really pleasant story, love the concept of addressing the cat as an individual. Their demanding nature is what makes them so loveable!

  • Beem Weeks avatar

    Funny stuff, this! Cats are arrogant punks. But maybe that's why we love them so much. I like this story. Thanks for sharing.

  • Joey T avatar

    Love this - very funny story and an excellent perspective of the common household cat!

  • Sheepyblue avatar

    Amusing story, I enjoyed it

  • Jenny-Rose avatar

    Quirky and funny little story. I love the off-beat humour in this!

    Not sure the repetition works for me in places, but an evocative piece nonetheless J.A. Santos

  • KateDaniela avatar

    Really enjoyed this! I found myself reading this out loud to myself because of the repetition of the sounds throughout the poem. Good job!

  • Ushah Kazi avatar

    thank you for the comments :) I'm glad I got the emotions across, thank you very much for the feedback

  • Pia Lou avatar

    This is a touching and sad story. It is a shame that, by becoming a wife, a woman looses her identity. Great work!

  • trumble avatar
