The Equator
Hello Poetry Lovers This poem by lovely poet Trisha Broomfield from her first collection The Equator and Other Disappointments really struck a chord with me – with us. Mostly the pack of lies grown-ups told us when we were children! And how we fell for it! I also recall how I was betrayed by BeanoContinue reading “The Equator”

Tea Break
Hello Poetry Lovers Welcome to our Poetry Tea Break. We all deserve one of these as hard-working poets! The prolific and talented Trisha Broomfield has summed up this vital backbone-of-the-nation drink very well, and how we would do anything sometimes for a cup.

Deadly Sins
Hello Poetry Lovers Recently, I did an email poetry course with the wonderful Sue Burge on the Seven Deadly Sins. It’s funny how these biblical things still draw us in and intrigue us. I like the ‘good’ ones of course, like lust and envy. The only one I really fell at the fence with wasContinue reading “Deadly Sins”
A Red Dobby at Night….
Hello Poetry Lovers Do you remember at the cinema, after the Pearl & Dean adverts, they would put up the slogan on the screen – Intermission – a time to enjoy? Well, the same policy applies here. Between articles and poetry posts, we have another Dobby testcard. I hope you like it… Wasn’t that aContinue reading “A Red Dobby at Night….”
