Biography
I am an observational poet. I like to write to form and enjoy exploring different forms and challenging myself. I also use poetry to examine my own life story and explore themes. I am not as well read as I would like to be and I am not as confident in my voice as I would like to be, but being part of this community is a big step towards these goals.

Tangerine Dreamer Droplets of amber glisten on the glass. A million slices of light drop from blank banks. Brooding in the marmalade laden sky. In the sleeping street, snores drift and they dream. Sleepless in the downpour brings oranges. Written 28.07.19 #3amthoughts .....:......:.....:......:.....:.....:......:.....:......:.....: How are you? Tears lurk behind facades of smiles. #mentalhealthweek2019

Sorry to hear you have been poorly loved your poem about those wiggly worms Monday night!
You missed a great meet up last night

My cheeks flush

Loved it
Pink not Blue
July orange thoughts
drift and dream
inside tangerine marmalade.
Using the same format of the six word lines
I have put together something hotter myself called - - -
The Forbidden Zone
I will bring it with me on our August meet up to show you.

Someone Into You
Blue into girl
girl into poetry
poetry into searching
searching into liking
liking into someone
someone into you.
Outside looking in
Stranger no longer
friendship burns within.
