My thoughts and questions about blogging.
Lakeside
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie B&P’s Shadorma and Beyond – Tritina Poem Steep tangle of forest spills Over shoulders of promontories, Falling and rising to the lake. Mirrored in the surface of the lake, Amongst the ripples and the spills, Are stony faces of promontories. Smooth, worn rock of promontories, Rolling down to the […]
Hear the Thunder
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Music Prompt #38: “I See Fire” by Ed Sheeran Hear the thunder rumble raw umber Across the landscape Thrash metal in the sky Now I hear thunder Brimming the chaos I hear thunder Buckling the trees And I hear thunder Crashing clouds I hear thunder Rolling on the breeze And I […]

January Blues
Another unsuccessful entry, this time in the Interpreter’s House Open House Poetry Competition 2016: With a defiant seagull’s cry Salt-scented memories fly In mid-winter moody sky Drenched with wintry light And seascape hues Of January blues Pinned by a star Like salvaged scraps With the delicacy of old lace Beach-combings of shells and stones Brittle brine-bleached […]

A final fanfare of […]
Claiming its Toll – a constanza
My response to Jane Dougherty’s Poetry challenge #26: Constanza The sea is an ever present ghost Lapping at the landscape’s edges Pulling at its seams and stitches Gulls survey from groyne and post Low dunes, marrams and wave explosion Sea encroachment and erosion All along the Norfolk coast Towns, hamlets and villages Dwindle […]
Leaving the Bus Station
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Tale Weaver #61 – Departure Moments bruise and bleed Down the window In a race To erase Her face Impressed on the dusty glass Like the Turin Shroud The bus engine Sputters into life, a loud Arrhythmic heartbeat And then She is gone Replaced By a forest of faces […]
Cloudscape
