Comment from ESOSTINE
The beauty of this poem is mainly on its smooth flow and strong grip on the mind of readers. I feel the pains of innocent children exposed to danger (even in public parks) behind the eyes of parents, or those who could protect them. Well done, dear Shirley.

Comment from EeanBlack
Keeping the swings warm, was my position in our little town society. Very, very, very well stated. You went from scaring me to making me melancholy. You're such a fuzzy little peach. What do you do, take your dog for a walk and write about how bad the neighborhood has gotten.

haha, Eean, I'm still trying to digest 'fuzzy little peach!'.
Thanks for the sixer :)

I am also trying to digest. Probably not the same thing though.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
So much to take in here, Shirley! I've read it twice and, as ever, love your work! It's that awkward in-between age when so much is expected but so little comes up to the mark. And in the end, you'd probably much rather be home instead of going through the motions of being grown up. My favourite part is We had no choice....the depths of distant terraced chimneys. Remind me again where this is:) The South of England? Lovely alliteration too. And another winner, I'll be bound:) Good luck! Debbie xx

Hi Debbie,
Thanks so much. Re your query where this is set, it's no particular place other than generally north England. Obviously, there are problems everywhere, but there are towns in the north which are, unfortunately, very run down xx

A group of feelings, prevailing concerns pertaining those living, starting with the children. I feel its viewpoint despair about their situation: watched over by their parents. Deep thought, in my set viewpoint.
