New Year at the Slagg’s Cafe

Happy New Year, Poetry Lovers I have decided to celebrate this bittersweet occasion at the Slagg’s Cafe. New Years Eve seems so limp the week after Christmas. The Christmas tree flagging and forgotten, like the solitary remains of Christmas pud. So who better to bring cheer than the Slaggs?! Mrs Slagg has especially penned aContinue reading “New Year at the Slagg’s Cafe”

Winter Triolet

Hello Poetry Lovers Well, the countdown has truly begun and Christmas Day is in less than a week. I have a seasonal, if cynical triolet here. I wrote about all four seasons recently but I’ll just feature the most relevant one. There’ll be one more post before Christmas, so watch this space. Read on ifContinue reading “Winter Triolet”

Quality Street Poem ..

Hello Poetry Lovers Today we feature a vital part of Yuletide – the tin of sweets, and the most superior of them all, namely Quality Street. That tin by our sides that we tuck into while watching the King’s Christmas speech, and a crafty few before the turkey. Hands up who can truthfully say theyContinue reading “Quality Street Poem ..”

Alphabet Christmas

Hello Poetry Lovers How are your Christmas plans going? (What do you mean, is it Christmas?!). We rush about getting ready for what really is one day – Boxing Day now succumbed to early January sales – but do we really think about the day itself?

Highlighting the most frustrating side of those Yuletide preparations, and clever poet Sharron Green has summed this up nicely in this beautiful piece. Amusing and painfully relevant to us this coming advent,Continue reading “Gift Gaffe”

Christmas Corner….

Hello Poetry Lovers Yes, Christmas is around the corner and I have thrown myself fully into Yuletide. For a start, I have written a triolet on Christmas – the dark side of the season anyway. This can be a stagnant period of tension and many family rows occur over this season. I have tried toContinue reading “Christmas Corner….”

Return to Tenby

Hello Poetry Lovers Yes, you heard right, I said return to Tenby. That magical place I discovered in May this year. I was honoured to be invited back by the magical Celine for the launch of Celine’s Salon Anthology volume 2. So there I went on the train back to Pembrokeshire. This time the trainContinue reading “Return to Tenby”

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Poetry Lovers Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I know this is not really our celebration but I would like to acknowledge and illustrate the occasion. I’ve always been a bit infatuated with this celebration and love seeing images of the food Americans serve up. So much food groaning on a table, served with loveContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving”

Welcome back to Nostalgia Corner

Hello Poetry Lovers Let me lead you once again to nostalgia corner. Talented poet Trisha Broomfield has written a follow-up to my recent piece on Talcum powder. This particular, now overlooked, beauty item is playing on my mind, I think it’s because Christmas is approaching. Which as we know, is the ultimate nostalgic corner. AnywayContinue reading “Welcome back to Nostalgia Corner”
