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.

A book of poems arrives ...


A book of poems arrives,

titled for a mythical/historical 

being I greatly revere –

gift from a friend. She 

has tucked an extra poem,

one of her own,

inspired by this book,

inside its front cover. 

Naturally I read that first,

savour it, cherish it. The rest 

I choose to discover slowly … 

already taking this gift,

poem by poem, into my heart.
