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.

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

birch teaches me a lesson

Being unwell with Pericarditis and Costochondritis has limited me to a few steps into the back garden, and what wonders are there.

trees stretch and shift in their skins

Don't know who this is for, but man the history of horse domestication really stands out for how confusing it is. There have been major multiple major books published in the last five years that confidently say exactly opposite things.

This one is good, imho: www.williamttaylor.com

Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history.

Hookand is gothic and a conversation with the ghost soil of place 365 days of the year. Halloween and the whole season of the dead is sacred, intimate and primarily focussed on listening for me. So, apologies if you expect movie recommendations and a big event, a Hookland Halloween isn’t that way.

For @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social this Halloween. After a place I often drive past:

Past intruding into now,
hotel at the crossroads,
with a hangman on the sign.

Goodnight from the No. 34 bus, which appears to have taken an unexpected diversion into Faerie just outside of Oakgate. Goodnight from Jennifer Hollingshead, wishing a pentalpha ring of Solomonic authority was available in the Green Shield Stamps catalogue. Goodnight from Hookland.
