I don't profess to be anything other than a happy amateur where poetry is concerned, however I have always loved reading other people's work, especially the Metaphysical Poets. I come from a creative family and have a great love of photography and the arts in general. My photographs can be found on Flickr, using the same name as this site.
I am a solitary pagan and much of my joy stems from a connection with nature and Mother Earth. I have recently found my muse and though not with him in a relationship sense, he remains central to my creative spirit, enriching my life with his presence.
I don't have much time to write, as a single mother, with a full time job and currently studying towards a Master's Degree in Human Resource Management.
Peace and Blessings Mendi
You were in my dreams again last night
And they were plentiful.
You pulled me close and held me tight
...
Morning winds blow ice-bound air, in curling gusts about my hair.
Within, my toes are cosy warm - without, my shoes are scuffed and torn.
With face pressed to the north I walk, abjuring folk and idle talk.
...
Stuck between a rock and a soft place;
Caught on the horns of a dilemma.
Whether ‘tis nobler to howl at the moon
or stoic, stiff-lipped
...
Eager exit out the door
collecting carrier bags from the floor.
Happy, hopeful, scents the air
leaving puddles everywhere.
