Reflections....an appropriate title to explain the journey of poetry contained within this website.
The poems contained on the following pages are just a small selection of work that I have done since I started writing poetry 5 years ago. I try to select work that takes the reader on an intimate emotionally charged journey of all aspects of my world, my life. I have many years of stories and observations to share....
My writing has been and still is an exploration of personal growth and therapeutic expression which has now become an active part of my everyday. You may find I write in a way that is brutally honest. These truths aren’t protected by linguistic cushioning or “frilly bits” and in this I hope the reader will gain more from reading them.
This is my style, this is my expression. This is exactly what this site is about, expression.
Having lived with FM and Non REM Parasomnia Sleep Disorder for many years now I find being able to write gives me a healthy outlet to release my frustrations.
The poetry I write and display on this site can also reflect on the world and those around me. I like to be able to write about things I observe outside of my own life as it can lend balance to the way certain situations and scenarios are seen and felt. I touch on very universal themes such as health, family relationships,trauma and inner child to name but a few. As you read through you may find specific pieces may “speak” to you in a very personal way.
The poems are rotated monthly, sometimes they are all about one theme throughout but most times they are mixed topics, some are short pieces whereas others can be much longer.
Please feel free to leave feedback, comments or suggestions on the guest book or by emailing me directly. Many thanks to those who have already left kind and supportive messages and to those who have related, been touched and found peace within the poems... your words I have felt and truly appreciated. x....welcome to my journey.
