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.

Midnight finds me …


Midnight finds me

closing my iPad,

fossicking for a square 

of bedtime chocolate,

and selecting a book

to fall asleep with.


On the chair beside me,

Poppi cat is already sleeping.

If she wakes later

she’ll come to check

I’m safely in my bed,

then go to her own.


I love the late. Outside 

the street is dark and peaceful.
