Poetry is my passion, my diary, my therapist, my unsent letters to the world, my dreaming when awake. And like dreams, while my poems usually contain one theme, they often in content jump across many timelines and “characters” and sometimes actual facts. The feelings and messages I want to convey however are always very true and real.

While I love metaphor and use it liberally :), I like to think I write in a way that is accessible to even people who may not otherwise read poetry.As another writer here has said ( the amazingly gifted Lianne) in far more elequent terms than me, I write of the personal in in a way that I hope will touch the universal in all who read . I,myself find nothing more moving than reading a poem which is both beautiful and lyrical yet also strikes a chord within me, in a way which leaves me feeling like someone has empathised with me and my experience . If I can do that for at least a fraction of the people who may view my work I will be a very happy woman.

I love this community and the sharing of beautiful visual and written work, freindship and inspiration, that happens here and am so very pleased to be part of it. It has been for me both a lifeliine on some occasions and just a pure joy at others.

Thank you for visitng.
