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 devour whole books ...

 I devour whole books in a day, for escape;

listen to music, then suddenly decide 

I don’t like it after all and turn it back off.


Two dear friends and one old lover 

are all dangerously ill. Like me, not young …

yet how can I bear my loss and their pain?

    This week, two friends died - I guess it's to be expected with age. I'm the same with books. Stay well.

    Thanks, Barb. Yes it is to be expected, but that doesn't make it much easier. I am staying as well as I can! You too. xx
