Celebrating Mother’s Day with My Mum
Like me, many of us will never again be with our mums for Mother’s Day. So, I’m celebrating mine with two of her poems. Mum didn’t have a lot of time to write as she was a full time foster carer.

Book Review Maybe That Isn’t Her by Chrissy Moon
Where did I find it: I saw it promoted on Facebook. What I liked: The words were poignant and clearly came from the author’s heart. I felt I could read between the lines and imagine the story behind it.

Totally Devoted
A little story I wrote in poetry form about obsessive love Sometimes at night I walk out lateAnd stop outside your garden gate.I know what they say is true,The things they say about you.They say you're outspoken and loudThat you’re always heard in a crowd,They say you’re not afraid of a fightAnd what you do… Continue reading Totally Devoted
The Wind

Poem: Another Day Like This by Chantelle Atkins
I like poetry and generally prefer those that rhyme. This doesn’t, but something about the story and rhythm appealed to me. Another day like this Comfort in favourite t-shirt The one with the stars on it And daughter’s old hoodie, the big blue one And jeans that need a … Poem: Another Day Like This
It Snowed Again Last Night
Occasionally I write poetry and I found this in a file of unpublished stories and poetry in the loft in a box. I must have been feeling very melancholy at the time. When I do write, they are always little stories. I’ll hope to write more next year. It’s fun to have a different medium… Continue reading It Snowed Again Last Night
