Teacher, photographer, poet. I write a nature haiku every day as an act of creativity. All photos taken on walks around where I live. Interested in fairytales, folklore, botany, ecology, liminal places, and the more than human. Two published pamphlets.

frost in the garden
cold creeping over the land
like shining jewels

I'm remembering
how to stop and simply be
like wise rosemary

unlikely treasures
droplets on the teeth of leaves
glisten with morning

jewels of the season
all the brightness of scarlet
for hungry blackbirds

Once essential to the rhythm of daily life
it now stands unloved and forgotten
swallowed by time
An old, weathered red British telephone box stands abandoned in an overgrown rural area. The paint is faded and chipped, and the glass panels are cloudy with grime. Thick green ivy has climbed up the sides and across the roof, almost entirely engulfing the structure. Surrounding it are tall grasses, tangled branches, and bare trees, creating a sense of long neglect. The scene has a muted, slightly desaturated tone, emphasizing the decay and the box’s gradual reclamation by nature.

Every year I stop myself from posting “now look here you lot, my books would make an excellent Christmas present” in October because it’s way too early, and then I forget until it’s way too late.

Hope I’ve hit the sweet spot this time.

The cover of Taking Flight. Stylised illustrations of a selection of flying things against a pastel background of blues and greens. The cover of Light Rains Sometimes Fall. A pastel collage of seasonal urban nature (cherry tree in blossom, magpie, swifts, autumn leaves, urban fox etc). A cope of Into The Tangled Bank (its cover a collage of nature things (butterfly, flowers, birds, binoculars etc) nestled (yes, NESTLED) in leaves and grass. The cover of Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? White background, title etc and various quotes saying how brilliant it is. To the right the rear half of a goldcrest disappearing out of view (the back cover has the other half of the bird).

close to home wonders
for a moment the world stops
an ancient pausing

savouring the in-between

‘Go not to the Elves for counsel for they will answer both no and yes.'~ Frodo in LOTR, Tolkien. #BookWormSat
🖼️ Janka Latečková
Artwork depicting two Elven figures from the Vanyar, a clan of Elves from J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. A figure stands on the left, clad in light-colored robes and a helmet. This figure holds a spear and a shield. A second figure on the right, also in flowing robes, holds a sheathed sword. Both figures have long, flowing hair which. Between the two figures is a stylized, intertwined tree motif. The tree's roots extend downwards into a blue, wave-like pattern. The figures and the tree are framed within a large circular border featuring intricate, swirling knotwork designs.

I wrote about birds. AGAIN. But this time, very briefly.

This week, sanderlings and hummingbirds.

Louise Glück on a #smallpoemsunday that's supposed to bring our first real winter weather.
Snow Drops Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn't expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring- afraid, yes, but among you again crying yes risk joy in the raw wind of the new world. -from The Wild Iris, by Louise Glück Ecco, 1993
