Poetry Party Well Hello, Poetry Lovers I’m afraid this post is by invitation only, and NO trainers beyond this point! This is the party event of the year. I was just reading about Truman Capote’s Black & White Ball in ‘66 which was the triumphant event of the season! Well, not anymore, Mr Capote! EatContinue reading “Party of the Year….”

Poetry Dinner Party
Hello Poetry Lovers, Now I usually have a bit of a block with dinner parties – meaning I avoid them like the plague! However, not this one, I’d be breaking down the door to attend, and I wouldn’t be fashionably late either! I’d be the first in the queue. Clever poet Trisha Broomfield has createdContinue reading “Poetry Dinner Party”
Poetry Soup
Hello Poetry Lovers Well, I keep hearing the words Poetry Soup lately and I couldn’t resist sharing my family poetry recipes. All out of my dog eared poetry cookbook, natch. I hope this piece inspires some great poetry meals….. Poetry Soup Put in some vowels Cook on a low heat until they grow Then throwContinue reading “Poetry Soup”
Skinny Corner
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”
