To talk about time? James Kirk insists that Space is the “Final Frontier” but I tend to disagree. We are managing to send rudimentary space craft into space, manoeuvre them somewhat awkwardly and sometimes even manage to get them to land where we want to. Time is proving to be a different conundrum. We assumeContinue reading “Do you have the time”

These Words are not Mine
A peek into “Old & Unwise” With only ten days till the official release of Old & UnWise – A Haphazard Collection of Poetry and Thought I thought I would throw a few titbits to those who may be tempted to purchase the book. The following is an extract of the foreword written by JosephContinue reading “These Words are not Mine”
Night Crazies
When your mind simply goes into overdrive. Inspiration is a very strange thing. It is a Shapeshifter that can be a smell, an image, a sound, the taste of charcoal in the night air or simply the sensation of a spider running down your back. We never know when it is going to hit us,Continue reading “Night Crazies”
Winter Mourn
An experiment in Germanic alliteration. This was an interesting one. Written to the Meet the Bar with a Beat challenge set up by DVerse. I do like a bit of alliteration but the flow of this Germanic verse is different to what I would usually use. Feel free to comment, feedback is always appreciated. ©Continue reading “Winter Mourn”
A Night at the Prompts
Sharing poetry with pals If every cloud has a silver lining. Then for the Cumulonimbus that was the pandemic, the silver lining came in the form of friendships made online, particularly on Instagram. I had already joined the poetry community prior to the breakout of COVID-19, however, during lockdown online activities increased, and the numberContinue reading “A Night at the Prompts”
A Walk Through a Cemetery
Hidden beneath the moss Last year I paid a visit to the Brussels Cemetery for a poetry event organised by @spoken_word_bxl There was one particular grave that caught my eye. It had been covered in emerald, green moss and the inscription on the gravestone was illegible. Despite the melancholic atmosphere it was still a beautifulContinue reading “A Walk Through a Cemetery”
Lovers’ Day
Valentine’s fun Valentine’s day has different meanings for different people. There are the young who are in their first love, those who are suffering heartbreak, those who have most their loved one and those who are happily ageing together. They will identify with this poem. And don’t forget we shouldn’t be talking about love ifContinue reading “Lovers’ Day”
Old & UnWise
A Haphazard Collection of Poetry and Thought It is really hard to describe how excited I was yesterday to find out that Old & UnWise had started to appear for pre-order on some websites (see below). I have already had poems published in a couple of anthologies, however the poetry in this book is allContinue reading “Old & UnWise”
Distant Connections
A helping hand from across the seas It is amazing how many generous people there are out there in this world of chaos. I discovered a number of them in the online poetry community. I had just started to get into a writing groove, after thirty plus years of abstaining from poetry writing, when theContinue reading “Distant Connections”
Out of this world
The Aliens and I received a book. It was so good to receive the first hard copy proof of my book. Despite what the title of this blog says I did not receive the book from out of space, although my Alien friends may add some fuel for conspiracy theorists. I did actually write allContinue reading “Out of this world”
