You're absolutely right! Do you have ways of overcoming internal biases, if you ever notice them arising in yourself and affecting your opinions or actions?
Lincoln sounds like a town I want to give a hug to. In choosing just two hubs to focus on, you were able to add so much rich color to them, really highlight the warmth of your community through its central meeting places. I hope I'm lucky enough to get the chance to visit someday!
Straight out of a dream! This is so pleasant to stare into: a mesmerizing web. There's something cute, too, about those three or four brown "I spy" leaves hanging on in there, amid the tangles of black and white branches.
Thank you! I have to confess, this wasn't my original idea; rather, it was the idea of an older photographer at my church. He presented it with pictures of his mother's hands. One of his mother's hands when she was young, and one of his mother's hands when she was old.
Aw, I didn't realize the direction this poem was taking at first -- but I'm so glad you bent it this way! Light pollution isn't an issue I see brought up enough, outside of lightning bugs. It'll be a sad day decades from now if we look up at the night sky out in the countryside and can't find the constellations...
Whether that's a blacklight or a color effect after the fact, the lighting here cast the perfect glow and really makes the stars pop. Envious of those makeup skills, what precise wings!
Hands can provide so much affection, in so many ways: a hand cradling a newborn's head, a hand petting a beloved dog, hands held. But they show our age in the same way our wrinkling faces do, sometimes faster; you can't get Botox injections in your hands, after all. So this focus on hands is a clever way to write about love and the passage of time. I think you're really onto something here. And the rhyme is keen!
You've painted the quaintest of pictures, and I could picture it all so well. It's made me want to plan a trip to North Thetford as soon as I can, and you've convinced me any season will do! I hope you carry on with this genre, travel writing and writing about experiences, because I think you've got a real knack for it.
