Kingston Morning
Hello Poetry Lovers Now we look to another contemporary poet, the talented Dennis Tomlinson. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and seeing Dennis perform for a while now, and his poetry never ceases to be anything but innovative and sharp. From his book Over the Road, I have chosen this very atmospheric piece. I knowContinue reading “Kingston Morning”
Poetry Window
Hello Poetry Lovers I thought we’d make a return to the Poetry Window. It’s been a long time between visits. Did You as a child covet other people’s windows? How enticing and comfortable they looked while you were out in the cold? Or was I the only one? Well look, pretend you did! And readContinue reading “Poetry Window”
Fleapit Corner
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome back to Fleapit Corner. How can we not reminisce about our former cinemas?! The more down-at-heel, the better! We had two cinemas opposite each other in our town. The posher Embassy and the very scruffy Regent cinema opposite. The Embassy got the creme of the releases at the time such asContinue reading “Fleapit Corner”
Nonets All Round
Hello Poetry Lovers I thought we’d turn to the Nonet form this time. 9 lines, 9 syllables the first line, 8 the next….well, you get the gist. Great fun to do and it makes a fantastic structure. These are my attempts – and this time Dobby is not featured! She gets enough attention as itContinue reading “Nonets All Round”
Acrostic Corner
Hello Poetry Lovers I thought it was time we featured some poetry forms again. Acrostics seem the best place to start, and guess who the main star is?! Oh Hello Dobby! Fancy you walking in like that? What a coincidence. So here are two acrostic pieces, (the first one stars Dobby, natch.) Dobby Darling, comeContinue reading “Acrostic Corner”

Resolute Corner
Hello Poetry Lovers How are those New Year resolutions going? Now, be honest…. Clever and talented poet Trisha Broomfield has been just that, and has written a great piece about this very dilemma. How many of us will blush with shame when we read these delightful words. Read on and see…. New Year’s Resolutions ResolutionsContinue reading “Resolute Corner”
Tribute to Molly Parkin
Hello Poetry Lovers Molly Parkin has sadly left us, and I couldn’t help but post a tribute to such an icon, and for so many reasons. Unique and colourful, I read her books and articles relentlessly. I also adored her poetry. I only met Ms Parkin once and I found her a lovely human being.Continue reading “Tribute to Molly Parkin”
Larkin About
Hello Poetry Lovers A Happy New Year to you. To sum up the New Year, I have decided to feature a poem by Philip Larkin from 1974. I have mixed feelings about Mr Larkin, some of his pieces unmove me and others have made my eyes moist. However, this particular poem really draws up aContinue reading “Larkin About”
