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.

Thoughts of my mother ...

Thoughts of my mother

float in from nowhere.

Now I’m the age she died.


How old she seemed! Much older

than I feel. And although 

I’m alone as she was, I’m 

not lonely, bitter, aimless, unfulfilled.


Poor little Mum, I think. I learned 

in my long life how to be happy, so

she must have done right by me after all.
