Following Devious Bloggery’s example, I have taken on the challenge, for three consecutive days, to write a poem related to a quote. However, as I have only just started blogging, I have decided not to nominate three WP bloggers. Quote # 1: I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet […]

My daily journal: comments, thoughts and poetry on daily events.
Seal watching
On Wednesday we finally did what we planned to do on Monday – we drove along the North Norfolk coast to Blakeney and took a seal trip with one of the local boat companies. In a boat full of holiday-makers it was difficult to safely take photographs on his mobile phone, but my husband succeeded. […]
Serenity
Many thanks to Gltchy Artist for allowing me to take and manipulate this image, and use it and its title as inspiration for a poem. Serenity Single stalk Unbothered and unbending Undisturbed by wind or rain Still image A perfect composition Of sturdy stem, husk and grain Portrayal Pure personification Serene inspiration
More broken sleep
I couldn’t settle down last night and got up a few times to look out at the incredible sky full of stars. I didn’t see any shooting ones. When I finally got to sleep, my dreams were so full of poetry, and anxiety that I wouldn’t remember them, that I kept waking up, trying to […]

It took a while, but I now have menus and sub-menus. For now, there is no muddle to untangle and I have been able to add another story entitled ‘Uncle Bert’s Pigeons’. I wrote this story for a Pigeonhole competition, Food for Thought, which invited food-themed stories with a pigeon in them. Unfortunately, I heard from […]

Tidying up my web
Thanks to Brey and her brilliant Q & A session on blogging, I am ready to organise my website. It will most certainly become even more disorganised until I get it right! Before I start, here is a poem: Cyber Spider I struggled out of my comfort zone That comfy chair Behind the messy desk And […]
More haikus
I had forgotten writing and tweeting a haiku a day for two weeks. They have been added to the page ‘Haikus – recent poems’.
A Soul Released in Coltishall is complete
I have updated the page ‘A Soul Released in Coltishall’ with the final version, which I shall be sending off to the competition today. Update: It’s gone!
The end of a perfect day
After a quiet but perfect day, my husband took me out for a birthday meal at a lovely restaurant in a small Norfolk village not too far from where we live. I mentioned it in a previous post, entitled ‘This morning looks brighter’. As we left, we were surprised by a glorious Norfolk sunset, which inspired […]
