Wendy Webb Biography

Do you take a deep breath to write a poem,
or dally with the weather on a country walk?
Dancing between raindrops, or cosmic downpours,
whether it's right for this time of year?
...

Breathing helps, of course, always;
would you finish a poem without breath?
Perhaps spend time revising words,
like paper boats pushed out
...

May I tell you, please, what I think?
Perhaps it is that season now,
when we can sit outdoors and drink.
...

You're gone and now your body's not the same.
So dull and lifeless, you're not there. It's plain
that you have flown away beyond this realm
and earth has lost a gem, a glowing stone
...

Inspired by ‘Woodland Stream' Alan Kingwell, Liskeard,1998 (Lynher Valley, Bodmin Moor) .

My friend, you send the sweetest winter scene
to thrill my eyes and fill my heart with joy.
