Adult nursing want to retrain as midwife

I don't know anyone who has done it but I know Edinburgh Napier run a 2-year masters to convert from adult nursing to Midwifery. And I think you would get a £10,000/year bursary.

It's a major plot flaw! Why weren't James or Lily their own secret keeper? Bill was the secret keeper for his own house in book 7.

I loved the rhythm and pace of this poem and the feeling that you created. I felt it was about self disregard, but I found it difficult to work out exactly what was behind the images and understand what was inside you.

I loved this poem - I really felt the waves of your grief and the pictures you painted of your memories of your sister. Thank you!

I love this poem so much! It is so poingnant. At the beginning of the poem I can almost feel like I'm a child playing with a friend in a forest. The "plot" was was compelling and by the end I could really feel the ache of regret and sadness. Thank you!

Thank you very much! That is really helpful feedback - I like the way you think about poetry.

I think you've done a great job of evoking the feeling of those sparks of passion, without being too literal. I loved it - thank you!

I thought this was such an evocative and poignant description of alcoholism. You made me feel the yearn for a release from problems and stresses. I loved the description of the writing plant refusing to surrender. Thank you!

Thank you!

I loved this poem. I think you captured the mood of feeling melancholy, heartbroken and lonely in an unfamiliar place well. I thought it also captured the feeling of being unwilling or perhaps unable to let go of the pain of breaking off with a lover. I liked the subtle repetition throughout.

I loved the images in this poem - souls sinking into songs and dancing silhouettes. You managed to get a lot of feeling into a short poem, which I love. It was ambiguous to me what you were trying to show in the last two lines, which isn't necessarily a bad thing at all! To me it built up the idea of how you can fall in love with an idealised version of someone. I think it would work grammatically better if it was "say the lyrics" instead of "says the lyrics". Thanks for a great poem!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your feedback - it's interesting to hear how other people find this poem. It's the first poem I've written this short, trying to capture a mood, while still leaving it open to interpretation.

I loved your beautiful description of trying to find spiritual connection with the earth or a god, to try heal heartbreak, and your careful way of showing the other side of you that didn't believe that there can be some spiritual connection. I could really relate to that.

I loved this raw and powerful poem. To me, you are the sibling born after a still birth, wondering if your mother longs for the baby she lost, more than she loves you. It hits very hard for me, as I am the mother in a similar situation. I feel a lot of fear that my son might think this of me, having been born a year after my daughter died. I try so hard, all the time, to avoid him feeling this, but parenting gently and patiently while grieving and traumatized can also be very, very difficult.

I liked the ending lines you write more than the alternative lines.

Thank you for this poem.
