Geographically, it is carved in stone on a bridge that crosses the Bury to Radcliffe Canal in North Manchester.
Poetically, I haven't had chance to research it yet. 😎

Earth is at hand
the last cloudy streak
its meaning a vapour
a figure of speech

A trip into Hollins Vale to feed the resident Swans, Penelope and Jacob, and their twins.
Nice to see the Mandarin is still there.

Her nest, deserted,
Eggs she defended, empty,
Embezzled shells, strewn.

We were at that gig, I thought it was one of the best I'd seen.
And it kicked off in the stalls.
Great gig.

The initial document for my new poetry book is done.
It is currently over 100 brand new poems and the first draft is 210 pages.

I have some new ideas for this one which will take time but I'm sure will be worth the wait.

Exciting!
