Searching
Sometimes we see everyone around us living their best life, accomplishing their goals and enjoying their passions. They've found their calling. And we're happy for them...and just a teeny tiny bit envious. This one's about searching for your natural purpose in light of today's pressures.…
Kitchen Cravings
With lockdown this year, many of us have been unable to enjoy lively and memorable meals with family and friends. This one is based on my wholesome, happy experiences cooking, eating and even washing up with my family. I hope you have similar, content memories from your childhood, that you can recreate in adulthood? Hope this poem doesn't make you too hungry!…
Dreamy
I don't know about you but during this weird past year, I've been having more vivid dreams but then can't remember the essence of them once my alarm rudely interrupts. Can you relate? That's what this poem's about.…
No Greater Thrill
For all those who have had an experience that's inspired them in some way, inspired them to write, create, draw, compose, build. In my case this poem's based on the exhilarating Velocity 2 Zip Wire I did this week - longest zip wire in Europe and fastest in the world- I'd highly recommend!…

Stillness
There's a lot to be said from taking time out, disconnecting from screens, phones, and the internet and marvelling and relaxing in nature :)…
Our Table

These Four Walls
Being in lockdown in my own house, confined to 4 walls, the place we go to relax, be ourselves, recharge, think, rest, eat and sleep, made me realise not everyone's situation inside their four walls is the same. That's what's inspired this poem. I hope you enjoy :)…
A Generation Defined
A poem I wrote to document our current situation, so in years to come, potentially when I have kids and grandkids I can remember the Coronavirus and its effects on society...also thank you to all the keyworkers working hard and risking their lives at the moment!…
What Are You Thinking
For all those who have been indirectly or directly affected by the addiction of alcoholism.…

The Night I Dreamt In Jazz
A poem quite simply inspired by one of the most magical and soulful nights of my life so far - on board the Creole Queen paddlewheeler on the infamous Mississipi enjoying a Dinner Jazz Cruise under the setting sun with my family, June 2016.…
