The Empire of Certainty
Photo by Skitterphoto on Pexels.com The similarity between you and the Holy Roman Empire. That was the original title of a piece of my very old writing that I re-discovered at the weekend, by finally opening the huge box of notes I’d made, poems I’d forgotten, and things I must have known I would eventuallyContinueContinue reading “The Empire of Certainty”

Tell Me Your Psyche’s Song
Photo by Jill Wellington on Pexels.com I wrote this poem whilst observing the very public break-up of a couple who had generated such hope for the future. The woman appeared to becoming progressively more lonely, isolated, and eventually lost. I felt for her. I just wanted to understand how she might be feeling. Was itContinueContinue reading “Tell Me Your Psyche’s Song”
Square Peg!
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I’ve felt out of place most of my life. I felt out of sync with my family for as long as I can remember, and eventually that imploded. I kid you not, years ago I could walk into a room, take of my coat,ContinueContinue reading “Square Peg!”
