“I am a galley slave to pen and ink” Honore de Balzac 
I am a life-long writer. I can’t help it! I have been writing letters since I was wee, and poetry from about eight years old. I had my first article published at 16 and have had various articles, poems and other work published in various places. This is not my writing CV!
Like most people, I write about what has an impact on me; my blog is a prime example. More than that, I have poetry in my brain. I see things, and the poetry genie lurking, insists I write them down, no matter how inconvenient. In the middle of the night, in the loo, travelling, at work, on the telephone, it doesn’t matter when or where; the muse is no respecter of circumstance! I have some control – I can chose whether or not to form and shape the idea into a fully fledged piece of writing. Mostly I do. Sometimes I don’t. I have notebooks full of words, lines, ideas, half poems, half remembered rhymes. I make no claims for what I write. Some of it is doggerel, some of it is ditty or verse. Mostly it doesn’t rhyme, occasionally it does. Sometimes I write about things that are important, sometimes I write about trivia and minutiae. You will like it, you will loathe it, and everything in between. I make no apology. I am sharing my writing with you and hope that some people will enjoy some of it.
