Like many people, I wrote poetry when I was a teenager; pages and pages of torment and angst! Then I grew up and stopped writing poems. I’m not sure why. Maybe I ran out of angst 🙂 But recently, little poems have been coming to me. I say ‘poems’; they’re more like mini affirmations really. […]

Buried beneath damp mud, clawing for the air I cannot see, tasting the air I cannot taste, playing God among a barrage of insects, I found my way out of the tunnel alone, and now you’re back for more, surrounded by sea and grass, how much longer can I last, smelling the freedom I cannot […]
