Familiar Faces

A beautiful little tree holds
Posted on Sat, 16 Jul 2022
A beautiful little tree holds so much promise for the future as long as we respect it. I often think of what those great old oak trees have witnessed in their lifetimes. We could really do with some rumbles of thunder and a good soaking but the...

This is like a short holiday
Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2022
This is like a short holiday and just what I needed to read today. I'm glad you didn't cut it short. I could feel the heat from the sandstone and imagine the long grasses clinging. 'No time for regrets'. This is one to revisit.

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

'gingered bracken' - I love

The earth is just about
Posted on Mon, 14 Mar 2022

Posted on Tue, 22 Feb 2022

Posted on Wed, 24 Feb 2021
A magical poem which really captures the spirit of the night time. I enjoyed, neon street lamps, urban penumbra. For people who still have energy after the demands of the day, the night represents another world where the planets seem closer.
