WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

I look at the photo ...


I look at the photo

of my long-ago love.

‘Of course I’ll love you 

forever, you stupid man,’

I say good-humouredly

to his dear dead profile —

or to his ghost, who 

surely no longer doubts.




An extra one for February, in case anyone is reading this one-a-day in a leap year. (Otherwise, you get to read two in one day.)
