Night-time wouldn’t show itself Until Sunshine moved away Like a road-way that disappears in flood Like a child who will stray Night-time hid away God knows where Like a sock hides in a shoe Not wanting to come out and play Like when I played hide and seek with you The pages turned […]

Do we…?
Do we spend Life learning how to Live and the next life living the life we Learnt?
My first time
It happened. I’d heard people talk about it, in writing groups and elsewhere, but had never felt the emotion that overtakes when it happens to you. The other day, a friend of mine rang me up and said; “Guess what? Your book isn’t in the book-store.” “Of course not,” I replied. Patience, dear friend, patience. […]

Black hole
I look over my shoulder, bare To see what lay beyond Sensing what I’d lost What had been and gone Gone before I knew What I’d lost for good Lost in black hole, left behind An object, that I should Have thought of more Have thought to store In memory of kind […]
