A Dream?

Posted on September 28, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

Finding futures in the past

Posted on July 16, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

By and by

Posted on June 21, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

There is a place that I once knew where happiness just grew and grew. Where folk were greeted with a smile and asked to linger for a while. People would laugh and play and sing; a place where all could … Continue reading →

I Stand

Posted on June 8, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

The end is nigh

Posted on June 1, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

When?

Posted on May 24, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

The Art of Play

Posted on May 10, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

Time

Posted on May 8, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

Normality

Posted on May 5, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium

‘Normality’ they tell me, is where we all should be; ‘Normality’ is that place where sanity’s set free. But then it simply flies away to hide up in the hills and what’s then called ‘Normality’ simply gives me chills. A … Continue reading →

The Shadow

Posted on April 19, 2020 by a foolhardy florilegium
