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”

Valentine’s fun Valentine’s day has different meanings for different people.

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”
Poetry in motion (again)
The Rave Linked to dVerse Poetics – May I have This Dance? I am pretty new to WordPress and have discovered a whole community of writers. I came across a prompt by Dverse related to poetry and dancing. I have decided to share one poem from Old & UnWise – A Haphazard Collection of Poetry andContinue reading “Poetry in motion (again)”
Poetry in motion
Spiralistic In this day of social media and the importance of the visual spectrum it was only a matter of time before poetry started to be embellished by accompanying images and video. There have been many discussions about the value of this, and I have certainly had a few.There are those, often labelled purists, whoContinue reading “Poetry in motion”
