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.

Good one Rhiannon. And I blame diminishing attention spans, plus the quick soundbites, clickbates, and the loss of social graces.

I usually struggle with prose, but this flowed so well, and it took me along easily; and I liked how the reader can make their own judgement; a well deserved golden cherries.

Oh Jenny! This is so true for me as well. How many times have I had a line or phrase come to me in the night, then thinking I'll write it down in the morning, but then morning comes and the words have melted. The answer is to get up and write it...

A delightful poem. I first read the moon maiden story you gave as a link; and then the poem worked even more for me. The language and imagery evoked a Japanese feeling; congratulations Paul

A really good poem, like this
Posted on Fri, 15 Mar 2024
