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.

This brought rain to my memory; coming home last night from the hospital in the driving rain; then out this morning finding fallen trees; rain as elemental the poem soaks my imagination in it.

I liked this Rhiannon; the way you convey more optimism - and we need all we can just now.

Thanks Jacques. I only hope we can survive another year, but with the plummet into dark barbarity continuing I'm not so sure.

Evocative

What an eerie evocative poem, the language of the mists and hidden places. I really can't add any more praise to what has already been offered above.

Turlough - you have just put the smile back on my face, and I needed that. Such an inspired piece of whimsy - red cherry well-earned!
Happy New Year

Enigmatic but good

I liked it, and a worthy cherry, though as to its meaning, i'm thinking it may be a eulogy for a love deceased.

A smile at Christmas
Posted on Sun, 24 Dec 2023
I liked the play on words Luigi, some much needed light relief at Christmas, and hoping you are having the best one.
(minor point; maybe typo on: 'whose ain wes a safe life' ?)
