Seaside Beauties
My response to dVerse Poets Pub OpenLinkNight #176 For tonight’s Open Link I have reworked an old poem I wrote as a bit of fun last October about seaside beauty contests, which fascinated me when I was a child on day trips with my grandmother. I was reminded of it when I looked out of […]

Deluge (again)
My response to dVerse Poets Pub Tuesday Poetics: Drought or Deluge After weeks of summer drought, It’s pouring again, Fluidity fluctuating between Short showers and torrential rain. Outside, the cat pounces On each drop that bounces; Liquid diamonds gush down shoots To be guzzled up by dehydrated roots; Water butt and gutters bubble, Overflowing […]
Cosmic Starfish
