Second Light Live > > >
I began writing poetry seriously when I gave up full-time English teaching. Poems in magazines and short-listed for Ver Poets Open Competitions twice. Pamphlet, Dress Rehearsal, self-published a few years ago. Now working on an OCA course on form.
A new constellation of chalky sisters
has come into view, a milky shawl swirling
through the night sky.
A rogue moon risen,
sinister sliver above the horizon,
presages change, high tides,
flooding plains.
Charts are re-drawn, dimensions
recorded; light-years, eons,
no measure of eternity.
Poem published: Commended in Ver Poets 10 Liners Competition 2007.
Publications: Dress Rehearsal, self-published, £2.50 (proceeds to Open Door – local charity)
