You have an amazing talent for using unique words and phrases to describe a place, an object, a situation, or an action. The reader knows exactly what it is but it leaves us thinking, ‘That’s a really creative way to say that.’ It’s almost like you take parts of speech and integrate them to create something new and interesting. I love that last line; it says a lot.
There’s something very intoxicating about your descriptions without ever feeling they try hard to reach anything. It’s almost throwaway associative but with charm and really takes you into the place. Great writing Giles 🙌

Thanks! 🙏

Great writing as always, your memories seem to be your greatest poetic fuel.
💜 Thank you. Yep, they sure are good fuel.
Painful I assume, but pain makes great art. It can be a condolence sometimes.
Love this one – great imagery and movement
