Poem: Natural habitat
Another post and a new (for you) poem to celebrate the release of my book, which can be bought here. This was one of those poems that came to me in its entirety while I was out walking in the woods. You never know when inspiration might strike… YT link: https://youtu.be/qApeVXfhjRE Natural habitat Here, we…
My poetry debut – Murmurations – is now available
Dear all, On this most auspicious day – my 42nd birthday – it is my pleasure to announce that my poetry debut, Murmurations, is officially available for purchase through the below link.

Poem: A normal butterfly + debut poetry collection
An old (but unpublished) poem to announce a new and exciting development: On the 26th of February 2024, my debut poetry collection, Murmurations, will be available for purchase (and I will turn 42, thereby becoming the answer to life, the universe and everything ;-). In fact you can already pre-order the e-book here and the…
Poem: Where I Do Roam
YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCreXMosgA8 Ambling, rambling, tumbling, twirling I can see the sky is swirling Wispy cloudy tendrils curling Painting streaks across the sky Gazing up at it am I Call to me the birds who soar Beetles of the forest floor The chirp of crickets, nothing more Fields of barley, wheat and rye Gazing down…
A poem every day – week 8 / Birthday / Break
It has been an interesting experiment so far, and I’ve definitely written more poems in the past 8 weeks than in my life up to this point. I’ve also written at least 15 poems I think are good, which was as many as I had written in the past almost 3 years. So, there is…
A poem every day – week 7
Whereas last week I felt I wrote several good poems, this week I feel like none have reached quite that level, though I do keep trying every day. February also seems to be whizzing by and there’s more stuff going on in general. Like today I am expecting my mum for a visit from Norway,…
A poem every day – week 6
This week I’ve written quite a few poems that I think are good, and I’ve been enjoying the challenge more again after a few rough weeks. I won’t say I’ve turned a corner, as I expect this is just the crest of one of many waves to come. It’s part of the process and part…
A poem every day – week 5
I’m still plugging away, and still keeping an open mind as to how to move forward. I am going to keep this week’s update short, as I have a bit of a cold and my contact lenses feel dry and fuzzy. But the sun is out, the days are getting longer, and I can feel…
A poem every day – week 4
Dear readers, As the fourth week of my attempt to write a poem every day in 2023 draws to a close (for more information, see my post from January 1st), I’m still having a lot of mixed feelings. I feel like I’ve done some good and interesting work, and I’m sure some of these pieces…
Too much time, and too little.
