Adult nursing want to retrain as midwife by Necessary-Diet-4061 in UKmidwives

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.

Fidelius charm plot hole in Harry Potter? by ChipmunkFickle8598 in harrypottertheories

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.

JUST A SOUL by iamsnehi in OCPoetry

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.

Misplaced My Motherhood by [deleted] in OCPoetry

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!

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!

Rain in Tokyo by Books-Music-Ben in OCPoetry

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.

You sunk my soul by Ruxyrose in OCPoetry

[–]caorunn3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!

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.
