@roguestrands This was such a good reading. Such beautiful, moving poems. I especially loved the ones about wine. Can’t wait to get hold of your books to spend more time with your words.
Things have just got a lot more difficult . Here’s what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
@Hannahsmith7007 @JonathanHumble@TheDirigible@PoetryDayUK Such kind and generous praise, thank you! It’s so wonderful to know how the poem is being read. I’m going to treasure this compliment for a long time!
@Hannahsmith7007 @JonathanHumble@TheDirigible@PoetryDayUK Wow, thank you! Such a wonderful description of my poem, especially the ‘gentle grace’ of the Daddy Long Legs 🥰 It’s so lovely to hear how the poem comes across and I’m very happy you enjoyed it.
Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
