Pucker up and introduce yourself



This tiny autumnal November poem highlights the art of kissing and the types of kisses we share, as part of our communication and interactions with each other.

I hope you enjoy it and thank you for reading.

Day 4/30 - Prompt: KISS 💋

Light as a feather introductory greeting 
Fleshy facial parts briefly touching 
A kiss and a hug setting the world to rights
Superficial air kisses missing their mark
Passionate lips, hot and heavy entwine
A blushing memory
Of what was

Returning to the familiar a stranger




This tiny autumnal November poem highlights repatriation after a long residency abroad. U ensuing culture shock, emptiness and feeling lost is very real. You may speak the same language, but something essential has changed.

One can never fully return to what was and should never want to, but it’s possible to start a new chapter in a familiar place. This poem emphasises the benefits of how lost I felt and often still feel.

I hope you enjoy it and thank you for reading. 
And do let me know what you think in the comments.

Day 3/30 - Prompt: LOST 💫


Surrounded by my life in boxes and cases
Feeling empty like the house
Take a moment to reflect
Nearly three score years and 10
A full circle
Older, certainly
Wiser, maybe
Experience richer, definitely
Was this move necessary?
Yes
Is it the final one?
Depends...

Weather that makes you feel like hibernating



If you’ve just discovered my blog, for the month of November, I’ve been writing a daily, tiny autumnal poem, inspired by prompts, set by Beth Kempton. 

To add to the fun, for each poem I’ve created a photographic visual to accompany it.

For day 2/30 the prompt is: RAIN ☔️


Morning warm duvet
Deep breath and wriggle toes
Listen
1000 hooves pound the street
Rhythmic gallop
Beat never ending
Autumn is arriving

Day 1/30 - Prompt: PAUSE 💫

Finish the sentence
Rinse the brush
Close the window
Away with the rush
Pop on the kettle
Mint from the garden
Clock ticking
