😃 Good morning – or whatever time of day it is for you! Thanks for popping over. The trouble with published poems is that, a few weeks or months after publication, they’re usually forgotten about and left hidden away between pages, between covers, between other books on a shelf. So I’m giving little airings to…

😀 Hello, thanks for looking in. This snippet is taken from my first ever published children’s poem – in ‘School Trips’, Macmillan: ‘Liam is Lost’. The trip to the museum is nearly over, but Liam is lost and all the children – and attending staff and assisting mums – are required to search for him.…

Hi, thanks for popping in!Here’s my next snippet, this time from my poem ‘Moth in the Bathroom’: Moths are pests in a bathroom – intrusive, clumsy, noisy with their madly flapping wings… but outside in the murky twilight, where all the night creatures are stirring, a moth can be a mysterious, haunting little wilderness wanderer.…

Hello, thanks for visiting my poetry site! I write for children, with all sorts of poems tucked away in different anthologies and lit. magazines for young readers, so I’m airing little snippets from some of them here at the moment – one a day. This little couplet is taken from ‘Different but the Same’ –…

Hi, thanks for visiting! Here’s a dragon to greet you – from my poem, ‘The Wild Welsh Dragon’: If you have any children around, see if they can extend this dragon vision. What else might it be doing? What colour is it? What mood is it in? Where’s it heading? Another snippet coming tomorrow. Kate
