Calling any teachers out there - how about mixing geography with poetry to tell the story of the water cycle? 💧
It's great hearing about how my character, Splish, is helping educate through some fun interactive story-telling! Beware though, with so many hidden illustrations, it can take a while to read 😉

Valerie loved reading the broadsheets
But found she never had time
So for most the year it was The Sun
or The Mirror
She'd flick through at twenty-past nine
But on the 14th of every February
She'd lock herself and her paper away
And read it from cover to cover
And so was born Val an' Times Day

Hey, February! What writing/reading plans are you making this month? Any book launches?

Looking for a February read? 📚
"Grittier than its sister novel in its expansion of the overall story but with an equally an intriguing plot. The author’ ability to bring these characters to life deserves a particular mention." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You get out your car
A handful of goods
Now you just gotta lock it
Why does the key
Always seem to be
In the least convenient pocket

A Writer's Wish For Burns Night 🤓

For all ye folk wi quil an oater

whan ye werk still here but ye body not
be found yay own burns type nyg.

Among day the cloud came amongst us
Choose day it chose to rain
Whens day I asked when the sun would come out
But on Furs day I wrapped up again
Fry day I needed no oil
And sat a day out in the cool
And Sunday summed it up perfectly
The most inappropriate named day of all.

My poem, Forest in Winter ❄️❄️

Cold frozen time
the forest shocked
its vitality stolen by a thief
silhouettes now
standing stark round frozen lake
robbed of blush and autumn leaf

Harsh bitter day
the land suspicious
‘neath sky a sketch of pallid blue
The Sun burns heatless
through branches stippled
hardened with the frozen dew

Cold damp clings
fighting ‘gainst its melting clutch
and desperate not to stir the still
No breeze no song from any treetop
just a distant crow’s
protesting shrill

Grass and ferns
stiffened white
deprived of wave and colour
A vole scuttles by
a rabbit pricks his ears
both wary there’s no shielding cover

But evergreen pines
stand unconcerned
waiting for the snow to fall
The forest sleeps
but shivers not
unstirred and still so beautiful

Happy National Thesaurus Day! January 18th, honours Peter Mark Roget, the author of Roget's Thesaurus, who was born on this day in 1779. Here's my tribute 😉

When online references these days
Extinguish books you buy in stores
It good the Rogetthesaurus ain’t
Like the other dinosaurs
