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.

I love your use of language Paul - creating the imagery, of our cold January, the words rustling and foreshadowing the return of spring.

Such an interesting title and exploration - a bump of originality; with just the right timing and effect, a good one again Rhiannon.

We missed the 25th due to cloud, but this morning there she was - huge over the fens; and I thought of your poem, such ethereal language and imagery, so perfect for us Paul - a good one!

Thank you Di. We are blessed with our bird life. My wife and I this morning while on our walk watched transfixed as two Woodpeckers swooped through the bare branches of trees. I would say that these were the Great Spotted type.

I loved the ominous imagery here; and the onion juice metaphor works so well.

Yes! You've got it right Penny; the thing is I've always suspected that we are conencted to much more than we realise. And it knocks on the head the conceit that we write 'unassisted'

What a powerful evocation of the Magpie; and I thought your choice of words enhanced the Magpie characteristics. And these are remarkable birds that we see often about our village - not quite safe and with a mischievous air about them.
