Nostalgia Corner..
Hello Poetry Lovers Once again I have become nostalgic and have turned my attention this time to Talcum Powder. Not that boring Johnson’s one for babies in Superdrug, but the Christmas present staple we used to receive by relatives and family friends. Scorned publicly but privately treasured, especially in their beautifully decorated tins. Anyway I’veContinue reading “Nostalgia Corner..”

Mine for instance, is about knickers! Now 26 lines may seem a tall order, but once you get into it….well, see forContinue reading “Alphabet Poem”
That’s Poetry II
Hello Poetry Lovers I can’t believe my luck, talented poet Trisha Broomfield has come up with my favourite subject to define what poetry is to her. Yes, her cat, Perry!

Or not, as the wonderful poet Trisha Broomfield points out in this superb and beautifully written piece. So many memories in this poem, especially with the button tin. Who doesn’tContinue reading “A Tribute to Buttons”
Celine’s Salon Launch
Hello Poetry Lovers I went to Celine’s terrific launch on Tuesday 13th September at The Blue Posts in the heart of Soho. Although some say Soho has been sanitised somewhat, I really think this square mile still has a certain allure. Nostalgia? Mystique? Simply intriguing? Whatever anyone thinks, there’s definitely a vibrant and creative sceneContinue reading “Celine’s Salon Launch”
