I love this time of year when blossom can be seen everywhere about my local town. I can’t help but think of lines for poems when I see it. Once again it’s inspired a Haiku and I hope you enjoy it. Just above our headsis a bounty of beauty,lift your gaze and see.

My inspiration came from a flock of thirteen magpies all flying and running around the roofs by my block of flats. I have to admit, despite their bad rap,Continue reading “A Mischief of Magpies”
The World is Drowning
A few weeks ago I decided to join a local writing group, the Helensburgh Writers’ Workshop. Even though I have only been a member a short while, I have already felt the benefits of joining the group, especially as it’s members are all helpful, friendly and encouraging. The workshop evenings vary from spotlight or openContinue reading “The World is Drowning”
