Hello Poetry Lovers, Isn’t this an intriguing title?! And don’t we all dream of having a hot agent routing for us? I always imagine them to have big cigars and tied to two (proper) phones like Robert Evans or Lou Grade. And in my case, shake my hand at the end of a performance givingContinue reading “My Agent”

The Handbag
Hello Poetry Lovers Today, I’m going to feature a (very loose) sonnet called Handbag. A vital part of our lives, and the things we share with it. Now, I realise women poets will identify with this more than you men, however, I believe man bags are all the go now, so you can still beContinue reading “The Handbag”
Back on the Train…
Hello Poetry Lovers No, I’m not back on the train yet but I wanted to return to this fascinating subject. The DeLorean has pulled up, so get in for late 1977 and see what my life was like when I worked for six months at High Holborn. (Forgive the perm! They really were the wayContinue reading “Back on the Train…”
Dolls House Villanelle
Hello PL’s Would you believe I took on a Villanelle this week. Something that’s always looked so extraordinarily complex and I actually conquered it – sort of! I mean Sestina’s – forget them! They’re the devil! So so hard, but a villanelle is kind of a softer cousin. The one that you could get awayContinue reading “Dolls House Villanelle”

WATERFALL…….
Hello Poetry Lovers Now this is going to come as a shock but Mrs Slagg does actually have a soft side. Mainly she likes brutal poems, but she has time for the occasional piece about nature and the elements too. Especially if they’re in an acrostic and nonet form like the one clever poet SharronContinue reading “WATERFALL…….”
Second Review for the Slagg’s!
Well, Poetry lovers, a second review has come in for the Slagg’s Cafe. Thanks to the lovely poet, Trisha Broomfield Review of The Slagg’s Cafe At the Slagg’s, fags are compulsory ash joins sugar sifting onto table tops wiped ‘clean’ with apron hems and woolly sleeves.
