Poem of the Week: Autumn Equinox

Poem of the Week: Autumn Equinox

Today (22 September) is the Autumn Equinox. Or Mabon as it's called too. It falls between the 21st and 23rd of September every year, and this year it's falling on the 22nd. So, as today is Wednesday and the day I write poetry, I thought - why not create a poem all about the Equinox? Here it is.

Poem of the Week: Season’s Turn

Poem of the Week: Season’s Turn

I feel like autumn is on the way, and maybe this poem relates to that. I meant to write it for last week, but life took up a lot of my time and so this is a week late. Oh well. I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Poem of the Week: Castles in the Air

Poem of the Week: Castles in the Air

Oh wow, is Autumn really on the way? How time flies. And that's a little about what this week's poem is all about. That and how we strive for more and want more in our lives...

Poem of the Week: Oh Flame, Oh Fire

Poem of the Week: Oh Flame, Oh Fire

I felt very autumnal at the beginning of this week thanks to torrential downpours... I ended up lighting candles because of it, and so this poem was born.

Poem of the Week: Dancing

Poem of the Week: Dancing

Not sure where this poem came from, but I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s written in part due to a little drawing I did thanks to ‘The Pigeon Letters’ Creative Summer Retreat.

Poem of the Week: Live to Learn

Poem of the Week: Live to Learn

Sort of was inspired by Matt Haig's 'The Midnight Library' for this poem, but I suppose a lot of thoughts have been whirling inside of me. This week's poem is about life and the small things... that are really big things, if you think about it.

Poem of the Week: The Book

Poem of the Week: The Book

I'm a day late this week, just because life got a bit in the way! I'm also on holiday next week so won't be posting until the weekend most likely... but anyway, this week's poem is all about books - the book. Because I love them so much, I wanted to write a poem about it.

Poem of the Week: A New Evolution

Poem of the Week: A New Evolution

So, this week’s poem is rather long. It sort of ended up that way because I couldn’t stop writing it. I needed to get all my thoughts and feelings out, and it morphed into the poem you’re going to listen to...
