I am almost 58 years old, and have always loved poetry. I am a single woman, currently living with my mother as her carer. I also work part time as a nurse. I never married, and have no children. (Thank goodness!)
I love anything to do with nature, animals, the environment, books, music and poetry.
My favourite flower is a pansy.
Favourite colour is pink.
Favourite singers, Joni Mitchell, Lenard Cohen.
Favourite people, Charles and Camilla.
Favourite poet, impossible to say.
Favourite joke: - A guy goes to a fancy dress party with a woman on his back. A fellow guest asks him what he is supposed to be. Our guy answers, 'A turtle.'
The other guest is bemused. 'What are you doing with that woman on your back? ' he asks.
'Oh, ' replies our guy, 'that's Michelle.'
My garden is a place of rest,
the place on Earth I love the best.
Down among the trees and flowers,
I spend my happiest waking hours.

This is a true story. I remember the details from a book I once read. The inspiriation for the poem was the Japenese once more launching their whaling fleet. Please support Greenpeace and other organisations which campaign against the abuse of our planet and its creatures.
We travel the globe around each year,
living our lives so well.
