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 remember the smell ...


I remember the smell

of rain on grass outside,

of the wood fire inside

and chestnuts cooking 

in the glowing coals.


I remember Grandpa

teaching us word games

to play around the fire

on those cold evenings …

those cosy evenings.
