Hello Poetry Lovers Staying on the subject of animals, we turn to my favourite species. Cats natch. While I’m not sure I want to actually be one, I do envy them a lot. Particularly my own cat, Dobby. They get away with so much, and take it for granted. I’ve tried to express my thoughtsContinue reading “Oh Cat!”

The Zebra
Hello Poetry Lovers So talented poet Trisha Broomfield said she would like to be a zebra – out of any animal. I do see her point, with those snazzy stripes. Not quite as big or cumbersome as horses, they can run with grace and zeal. And get up to all sorts! Like this particular ‘Trisha’Continue reading “The Zebra”
Bristol Capers
Hello Poetry Lovers. Yes, we conquered Bristol (I think). I know it was non-stop! This is me embracing Clifton! And as for poetry, well I just looked in the Yellow Pages (let your fingers do the walking – loved that advert), or rather I scrolled on my phone and was delighted to find a poetryContinue reading “Bristol Capers”
And We’re Off…
Hello Poetry Lovers I’m off to Bristol for a couple of days. Dobby will take charge of this site and will have a quiet reflective weekend looking at and editing my new poetry collection. So I’m glad it’s in safe hands/paws. And all being well, I hope to do poetry at this lovely venue inContinue reading “And We’re Off…”
More Ogden….
Hello Poetry Lovers This time we turn to other creatures that clever Ogden Nash has featured, such as the Eel. We never really hear their side of the story. And this one is quite handsome. A ‘good catch’ you might say. A lady I knew bought an eel for her marine fish tank. I adoredContinue reading “More Ogden….”

These super pieces are fromContinue reading “Pests Corner”

This is us, Trisha, Sharron and moi with the wonderful Matt Panesh! What a bloke! As you can see, we took our art very seriouslyContinue reading “So, Morecambe..”
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….”
