Words on White by Lynn Woollacott

Words on Whiteby Lynn WoollacottArtist MELISSA LAUNAY The soft winter snowsubmits to sighs of weaving windbetween the silver cloaks of wood,silhouettes of seasoned boughs layeredby the sequence of the soothing song. It sits on the signpost coatingthe symbols with white signature.Observer to the yield from the skyshe smiles at the sparkleof the footpath swathed in […]

Winter’s Beauty by William Henry Davies

Winter’s BeautyBy William Henry DaviesArtist Nicholas Hely Hutchinson Is it not fine to walk in spring,When leaves are born, and hear birds sing?And when they lose their singing powers,In summer, watch the bees at flowers?Is it not fine, when summer’s past,To have the leaves, no longer fast,Biting my heel where’er I go,Or dancing lightly on […]

Novel Writing

Cynical Wordsmith I think the only wayI’ll finish a novelIs if I write ten concurrently,That way as I’m writingI’ll pick which novelSeems most interestingAnd write.

Holly by Andrew Blakemore

I love this! HollyBy ANDREW BLAKEMOREArtist Alida Akers At the edge of the field in a hedgerow so tangled, So thick and so dense where the holly does grow, Berries of scarlet are caught in the sunlight, Its leaves sharp and shining and all is aglow. The birds make their home inside Safe and secure […]

A Calendar of Sonnets: December by Helen Hunt Jackson

A Calendar Of Sonnets: DecemberBy Helen Hunt JacksonArtist Jo Grundy The lakes of ice gleam bluer than the lakesOf water ‘neath the summer sunshine gleamed:Far fairer than when placidly it streamed,The brook its frozen architecture makes,And under bridges white its swift way takes.Snow comes and goes as messenger who dreamedMight linger on the road; or […]
