My Poetry Week….
Well, Poetry Lovers, what a week of poetry it has been! Last Sunday we had the joy of Sir Richard Eyre as featured poet at the Adelaide. Honoured by his visit, we loved his poems and anecdotes. This is my most treasured photograph, in the company of a lovely and clever man. In fact, thereContinue reading “My Poetry Week….”

Summer of ‘76

I love the palindrome form and there have been some very clever ones written. IContinue reading “Palindrome”
Tritina Time
Hello Poetry Lovers I think it’s time to tackle the Tritina poem. Not being able to stomach its big sister, the Sestina (six stanzas!), I find the Tritina friendlier. Only half the workload in three stanzas, it’s much more fun. And it goes like this ; 1, 2, 3 – first stanza (of three lines)Continue reading “Tritina Time”
House Cinquain
Hello Poetry Lovers Today we tackle a cinquain. I like to take on a form I normally struggle with. This is about the house I grew up in. We sold it to a young couple in ‘69/70. About 30 years later, the occupant spoke to my dad, and said that they’d been so happyContinue reading “House Cinquain”
Made Up
Hello Poetry Lovers Today, we cover one of my favourite subjects – Beauty. Particularly cosmetics. A more painful learning curve than you would think, and an upward climb to getting that perfection right (if you ever do). I think many memories here will resonate with most of us. Do read on… Made Up Mum wentContinue reading “Made Up”
