Comic Strip Adventures
The story of the Booming Lovelies so far…. I can clearly recall loving Trisha Broomfield’s poetry at Cranleigh Arts Centre (and admiring her floaty trousers) Then having the delight of meeting Sharron Green in that very same venue How optimistic we were sitting together that night in early 2020, knowing we were in for aContinue reading “Comic Strip Adventures”

National Poetry Day (plus one)

The theme was Counting and after scribbling many words about foursomes, couples and threesomes (don’t ask!), they became redundant as I recalled the misery of sums and numbers at school. Quite depressing,Continue reading “National Poetry Day (plus one)”
