Hello Poetry Lovers Now this is a tricky form to take on. A mirror image piece and my version is a bit “dodgy” to say the least! However, who can resist a challenge, and rules are there to be broken! 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”
Cat on Holiday
Hello Poetry Lovers Now, I’m reluctant for Dobby to see this poem as it wonderfully describes Trisha Broomfield’s lovely cat, Perry going on holiday. I do not want Dobby to get ideas! However, if we keep it hush-hush, we can enjoy this great pantoum from Trisha and all the preparation our cats demand from usContinue reading “Cat on Holiday”

Body Shop
Hello Poetry Lovers It’s that time of year again, the weather is warmer and we show parts of our body that are hidden away in winter. Who wouldn’t be critical as our bare flesh emerges?! Wonderful poet Trisha Broomfield tells us what we’re all thinking in this very personal piece that sums this all upContinue reading “Body Shop”
Dobby at Centerparcs
Hello Poetry Lovers As I may have mentioned (once or twice), I recently had a holiday in Centerparcs. Now, of course you would know that I missed Dobby terribly – even if she does cause trouble! So I began to think what it would be like if Dobby had tagged along. Assuming it was aContinue reading “Dobby at Centerparcs”

The Slummy Mummy Launch Party part II
Okay, Poetry Lovers, despite Dobby’s exile, the Launch Party got seriously out of hand! And things began to get nasty… The Police had to intervene… The main troublemakers, including the Times Literary Editor and two thirds of The Booming Lovelies, spent the night behind bars. Protected from society Bribing the Judge with Slummy Mummy pamphlets,Continue reading “The Slummy Mummy Launch Party part II”
