Adroit writing that offers an alternative perspective on the mundane. (I get through dishwashing by propping my phone on a shelf and listening to radio prank call recordings.)
I'm wondering about the plural/singular confusion in S3 with 'pan, dish and pot' ending as 'it'.
I enjoyed the read. Welcome.

Re: Greens on Rice
I'm not convinced about the form but it is a good narrative that flows well. Welcome.

Re: My Turnip Patch
I can't say I like turnips but I like the poem. It seems to have been artfully constructed and for some odd reason makes me think of a 1950s spaceship crash-landed in a turnip field. This raises questions if not eyebrows. What are the farmer's neighbors going to think? Will the turnips go up or down...

Re: Shine on
Thanks Dave. You are right, of course, the piece is flawed in that it is lacking the human element we sort of expect. All I can say is that's how it came out - I only met Japie a few times, he was K's friend more than anything, so.... And yes, distraught is overcooking it, I discarded it first time ...

Re: Shine on
Thanks guys - nice of you to comment when I show up without paying any dues. Sorry, things are just crazy-busy around here, work-wise - making hay-sunshine. The poem was done quite quickly too. Thanks for the suggestions, good ones, the fixes are in. I dropped the loose line as redundant. Japie - pr...
