I’m now retired and living with my wife and Springer Spaniel in a village outside Cambridge U.K. I have dual U.K. and Australian citizenship, having lived in the latter and also travelled in Asia, in-between living in London for two years. I came back to the U.K. in 1993 as a Buddhist monk and was later involved in interfaith between Buddhist and Christian monasticism, which led to my returning to lay life. I now identify as a Christian – albeit with Buddhist influences!
My interests lie in writing – prose and poetry, informed by my experience of life plus religion, history, and current affairs. I also enjoy cooking, walking (with wife and dog), and the joys of friendship. I have previously posted on UKAuthors. My verse tends toward rhyming, but as a beginner I’m always willing to improve my craft.

She was, and still is, an inspiration; not least in actually living her faith in that most hard of things - to forgive, as we are all forgiven - the very essence of Jesus' teaching.

I read my own father in so much of your words; I felt you spoke for so many of us sons who never properly connected with their fathers; in particular with the generation that came back from WWII.

The impression - of words dancing - of Springs renewal - simply magic - a worthy poem of the week.

"and I would admire this toiled beauty"
A lovely poem Jennifer, the way you take the reader into this scene with such language; a poem needing repeat readings aloud. And congrats on the well deserved awards.

I too recall Ladybower; we visited there on a school trip when we still lived in the UK. And a good poem Rhiannon, the cost of our 'thirst' for more and more water - much of which is wasted.

Christenings, marriages, then funerals, it is all there in the words, as you say a strange day yesterday.

Thanks Rhiannon . A lovely short poem that gives the essence of the wild flowers. And is it true that we can eat wild garlic?
