Overcoming writer’s block

19/03/201505/04/2016

Beautiful, fleeting moments

05/03/201503/09/2015

Two big blue eyes peek from a cot A soft, sweet voice is cooing Two little arms are lifted up Beautiful, fleeting moments Chubby arms around my neck Small head upon my shoulder My baby snuggling close to me Beautiful, fleeting moments Raspberries blown on a bare tum Tickles, squeals of laughter Row, row your… Read More

There are gremlins in my laundry pile

18/11/201401/06/2016

There are gremlins in my laundry pile; How else do you explain The things that disappear in there Time and time again? There are gremlins in my laundry pile: Of this I have no doubt. For in their pairs the socks go in, Yet only one comes out. There are gremlins in my laundry pile,… Read More

My Favourite Season

30/10/201413/02/2015

I thought I’d step out of my comfort zone a little for this week’s prompt – “My favourite season…” and try a different style of poetry from my usual rhyming couplet.
