Volition: A Savvy Poem
Being volatile, my spark evolves into a raging bonfire – flames, red-hot and amber, against bubbles of calming green.
37: Lippy
Saturdays are, of course, fab; it being, for the majority of humans, the day after the workday of Friday. But how long does the reverie last for before imminent Sunday intrudes? And, for how many of us, is Sunday (far from being a day of rest) a day of enthusiastic-I’m-so-ahead-of-myself planning for Monday andContinue reading “37: Lippy”
36: Love Is
What is love, if not that feeling of elation experienced is one heeds the ‘stop’ sign for a moment (or lots of moments) and notices … … notices, the contrasting colours in the land where we stand?

Menopause: Silly-Savvy Poem
I pause, just for a nanosecond, to consider the flaw in the word menopause. Isn’t it women, they such as I, that suffer from the pause? And what is this pause anyway?

But, Google being unable to deliver, all that he could come up withContinue reading “Happy Birthday: A Silly Poem”

Yesterday was wasted. Today, therefore, is going to be The Day! Action required. First stop – the doctor’s!

A Medicinal Stroll in Chilton
I’m sitting here staring at a book about the ‘Wrekin Giant’ wondering when I will finally get around to creating my own version of the Salopian folk tale. No point sitting here just thinking about it. If I’m not going to get on with it here and now, it’s time to get out. Not outContinue reading “A Medicinal Stroll in Chilton”
