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.

The first friend...

 

The first friend I ever made

here in the Caldera – 29 years ago! – 

brings me for late birthday / early xmas

a surprise hamper, chosen with thought 

for a new vegan. Pesto, chocolates, 

crackers, mixed nuts and seeds,

mayonnaise, plum jam, olive oil …

all organic in one-person sizes, and 

a cake of scented, hand-made soap –

along with a hug that was a mutual 

happy-dance, thrilled for my triumph.

As well as purchasing my new books.
