Substack: A Poet’s Notebook
Dear readers, I know I do not update this website very often any more. I am not good at being consistent. But more than that, I find WordPress honestly not the easiest to navigate in terms of finding content that appeals to me and people to connect with. And, perhaps following from that, it’s never…

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An old (but unpublished) poem to announce a new and exciting development: On the 26th of February 2024, my debut poetry collection, Murmurations, will be available for purchase (and I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 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 1
Confused? Check out my post from January 1st. So, it’s been eight days since I started my poetry challenge, and I feel it’s going fairly well so far. I have written a few poems I like, and a few I don’t much care for. It’s taken me between 20 minutes and a few hours to…
New year, new challenge: a poem every day + a newsletter (monthly)
Dear readers, Happy new year! 2022 was a pivotal one for me in many ways. We moved house We moved halfway across the country in order to pursue a quiet country life in a small village, surrounded by woods. This has long been a dream of mine, being an HSP and finding city/suburb life increasingly…
Too much time, and too little.
