About Me

I live in Scotland in a big old house I share with my husband. The garden is lovely with trees and plants and is always an inspiration in itself. I love animals.
I have poems in Deborah's excellent anthologies "Expressions" and "Love and Romance". My first collection of poetry published in October will be followed by a second collection in the very near future.

Frozen Water

Frozen Water
On the bridge in Stockholm
I watched the trains slip by
I saw the frozen water
I sensed the snowy sky-
Surrounded by my loneliness
I stared out at the view
And by the frozen water
I pledged myself to you.

It was so cold that the water in the harbour under the bridge was frozen on Sunday. Later the snow arrived just as I thought it would! Simple little poem about my thoughts while on holiday and walking there in the city alone.

The Pinnacle

Walking in the ruins

I saw you waiting

Standing still against the faraway wall

Like some beautiful statue -

The moon was low

And clouds danced in the sky

As the light from the day

Slowly faded -

This night was the pinnacle

The high point

Of what was between me and you

As my finger traced the features

On your beautiful face

I realised you had no reservations

No need to look over your shoulder

You were in this as deeply as I.
