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.
Thank you Jenny. I enjoy

Thank you Jenny. I enjoy poems that use natural motiffs And you may have noticed that I'm more active now, having decided to consolidate my support where I find more community. And let's all hope for a more peaceful Christmas and New Year....

This evokes our own habitat, albeit not quite so icy, but muddy yes - we call it poached. Another good poem - well done.

Yes, something was lost when men eschewed hats; I liked this poem, it reminded me to find more of mine.

Very evocative; I visualised a cold dark church, with the candle light offering us hope - maybe?

Captures the life of a city
Posted on Wed, 20 Dec 2023
A poem I can come back to and enjoy all the more. I liked how it unfolds the cities inner life, away from the tourists, and how it ends in the warm apple pies; I can't praise it enough.

An interesting challenge

I'm enjoying following how you develop this Rhiannonw; the challenge of unfolding the alphabet but still keeping the theme intact. keep up the good work!

Pibokto here as well

A good poem - conveying the feeling of depressive winter weather; the language evoking the Piblokto feeling. I well recall ariving back in the UK in January (after many years), and being stunned by the grey weather. A well-deserved cherry.

I loved this; the way you evoke the lanscape through your descriptive language - I could feel how invigorating it was!

A novel approach.

I liked the way you've interpreted via the alphabetic letters. I must catch up on the previous ones.
