Colours and Lights of Childhood
Colourful, brighter memories from my younger years.
Spanky the Circus Bear
Once upon a time there lived an old couple, Amy and Eric. They lived a quiet, peaceful life with their dog Old Economy deep in the heart of a peaceful and beautiful country far far away. They lived comfortably, quietly and modestly and everything seemed fine, but they were all three of them getting older.
The Orange Room
This is a companion piece to ‘Pareidolia, My Sweetest Love’ and is about writing perspectives as much as it is about grief.
Glo Art
Catherine Williams (nicknamed 'Glo' from Happy Feet) had a wonderful eye for colour as she felt-tipped A4 on the floor in her feigned naivety.
Seasonal Milestones
Marking the turning of the wheel through the seasonal cycle of quarter days of nature’s year.
Stealing from the Cathedral
Once upon another time, in this wild, wide, desperate and wonderful world, there was a city. Not a big city. Quite a small city really. But an old city. A city with a dark forest growing thick around it. A city that was a thousand years old
Pareidolia, My Sweetest Love
In Memoriam, Catherine Williams (1964-2017).
This is a poem about the mad complexity of grief.
