I love the poem and the fact you took the words from your daughter song. It feels like a hard fought poem in a good way. That’s the poem that need to be found fought for and now shared. Thank you for your persistence and hard work.

Oh my goodness. This is gorgeous. So real, heartfelt, and lovely.

(And of course, I laughed delightedly at your description of the process of writing.)

Tamsin. My goodness!!!! The song is absolutely beautiful, and your poem has brought me to tears. I’m sorry you didn’t love the form but you’ve created something so gorgeous, and what better reciprocity than between you and your daughter 🥹❤️

Thank you but if you’d been within 100m of me when I was doing it you would have known. I am a proliferate and proficient swearer.

Say what??? Oh my goodness she’s brilliant. We’ve just been listening to her over breakfast. That voice. And I love that you have used one of her songs for your poem. This one is really special.

She is good isn’t she? And I’m not a mum who constantly ‘ups’ her kids. Sadly probably too late for her in the industry now. When Feel About You took off she didn’t release anything afterwards for 4 years, and lost all the momentum. Apparently there is an EP made but she’s so busy with work, she’s in the West End helping produce production, that I’ve no idea when she will have time to actually launch it.

I expect with time and distance and enough therapy I’ll recover.
