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.

Congratulations Jennifer, you have esily combined two IP's into one poem, I thought using the mother nature metaphors worked so well, and we should always remember that she is our mother.

'Spring hasn’t sprung like a shot from a gun,' And we are off! The short lines and urgency ending in the slow down at the end lines - into summer. A very (for me) skilful poem.

I've just read this on a (for once) dry Sunday morning, and I found so much in it that I can relate to: failing the 11 plus, looking for a direction in life, finding a refuge in imagination; I just felt it spoke of how we can find renewel no...

After reading yours, I just wanted to book our first trip away in wee caravan; and no rain! We must be getting all that passes over you; anyway, nice one again Rhiannon.
