Sigh! If only this was true, Poetry Lovers. However, if I’m not skinny, my poem today definitely is. I love the structure of the skinny poem and here is my own effort. Mirrors have always been a bit eerie and wicked stepmother-ish and bottomless. I feel the one in this piece is no exception. IContinue reading “Skinny Corner”

No No Nonet!
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome to the Nonet section. Inspired by the fabulous Sharron Green and Trisha Broomfield at the Poetry Party workshop at Solar Sisters Cafe this Wednesday, I got my head down and tackled this fascinating form. You won’t be surprised to see that the piece is nostalgic. Didn’t we all dread the endContinue reading “No No Nonet!”
Trimeric Hour
Hello Poetry Lovers On the trail for a new poetry form once again. This time I’ve hunted down the Trimeric. A superb and fun form. Along with keywords from Sue Burge’s mindgym (highly recommended), I used the words vacant, vacancy and void. I’ve written a pretty vacant(!) poem here. Do read on Trimeric Form ThereContinue reading “Trimeric Hour”
Dobby Testcard
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome back to another Dobby Testcard. This is the first time I have attempted a slideshow so just humour me…. As you can see, it’s about Dobby’s tempestuous relationship with poetry….. Do you know I could keep adding to that slideshow forever…. Thank you for tuning in, PL’s. We’ll be back withContinue reading “Dobby Testcard”
Life Skills
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome back to more life advice and skills. This is a very quirky piece by the lovely poet, Trisha Broomfield. So uncomfortably true and a real joy to read. I know this will resonate with a lot of us. There is a great dishonesty in this piece that applies to us all.Continue reading “Life Skills”
Didactic Corner
Hello Poetry Lovers Today we have a didactic poem. I love giving out instructions, even better if it can be in a poetry form. A very loose one admittedly. Now forgive me if I have directed it more to women PL’s than men. There are still things we can all identify with, especially the firstContinue reading “Didactic Corner”
Satin Secret
Hello Poetry Lovers For this post, I could not resist Sharron Green’s exquisite piece on something I’m confident we’re all guilty of. Also illustrating lacy underwear is so so alluring and reeks of glamour. Sharron’s poem is so clever and true, haven’t we all got a treasured yet very unused item like this?! Do readContinue reading “Satin Secret”
Interview
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome back to our studio where today our esteemed guest is the wonderful poet Alan Gregory (Rapturous Applause) Thank you so much for coming on the show, Alan. I have to say, I adore your white suit. I expect you’re going up the disco with John Travolta later I certainly am, Heather.Continue reading “Interview”
New Year at the Slagg’s Cafe
Happy New Year, Poetry Lovers I have decided to celebrate this bittersweet occasion at the Slagg’s Cafe. New Years Eve seems so limp the week after Christmas. The Christmas tree flagging and forgotten, like the solitary remains of Christmas pud. So who better to bring cheer than the Slaggs?! Mrs Slagg has especially penned aContinue reading “New Year at the Slagg’s Cafe”
Dobby’s Advent …
