My Night Out with Brian Bilston
Hello Poetry Lovers Yes you heard right I had a night out with the wonderful Brian Bilston! Well, me and about a 100 others but never mind…. The marvellous and clever poet Sharron Green got tickets and invited me! I was thrilled. The Candid Arts Trust was down a dark and unassuming road in Islington.Continue reading “My Night Out with Brian Bilston”

Hello Poetry Lovers I really want to share a wonderful event on Wednesday 11th January at the Solar Sisters Cafe in Guildford. Genius poet Sharron Green held a poetry party at this great venue. From 2 till 3.30 pm, and a cake and cup of tea later, a group of us got our heads downContinue reading “Poetry Party”
Life Skills
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome back to more life advice and skills. This is a very quirky piece by the lovely poet, Trisha Broomfield. So uncomfortably true and a real joy to read. I know this will resonate with a lot of us. There is a great dishonesty in this piece that applies to us all.Continue reading “Life Skills”

Now forgive me if I have directed it more to women PL’s than men. There are still things we can all identify with, especially the firstContinue reading “Didactic Corner”

Also illustrating lacy underwear is so so alluring and reeks of glamour. Sharron’s poem is so clever and true, haven’t we all got a treasured yet very unused item like this?! Do readContinue reading “Satin Secret”

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”
