I wrote this when I was feeling the weight of everything that's wrong in the world. How do we hold awareness of all the suffering without letting it drown us? I realised maybe the answer is focusing on love, not on our happiness. They are definitely not the same thing.

The second of my IMMIGRANT poems. This one is maybe more of a statement though! In a world where you can pretend to be anything you want to be, be real. ✊

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago in solidarity with immigrants everywhere. I am Danish but have made Scotland my home. Not everyone is welcomed by all. But we are all earth inhabitants. 🌍

It's Burns Night tomorrow. I found
my printouts of Robert Burns songs the other day ... the Quodlibet used to be one of my favourites! I especially like the chorus. 🤭 It's not so well known, so I thought I'd post a couple of verses.

I'm loving this collection by the wonderful Salena Godden. I saw her perform with #neureekie about a decade ago and still remember it! I love this justification for writing about certain other people - if there's ever a poem about you, you know! 😜🤨

Happy Hogmanay! 🥳 I know, I did it already, but I had some time before going out, and there was a roundabout decision process that ended with me brushing up the Danish version of Auld Lang Syne... I thought it was a fitting tribute to my adopted home!

A few photos of what brought pleasure this last week: outdoor fire; country walks; indoor fire; reading poetry books with my morning coffee by my tree; writing; lots of crochet and Christmas films. Die Hard was rediscovered, others revisited. It all = perfect! ❤️ #hygge #christmastime #holidays

My 2025 Christmas song for singles. It starts 😭 but ends 😅, it's all about balance isn't it?! I'm particularly happy with the ending "Christmas is a time to know your life will be whatever you believe." Happy Christmas. 🎄

I wrote this 'alternative / anti-hype' Christmas song back in 2021 and thought it was time for a repost. I still stand by it all, although I do like food! Link to full song:

Another Christmas favourite is of course Slade's 'Merry Xmas Everybody'. Here's a wee snippet from my practice for the Open Day last weekend.

Really enjoyed a very blowy gig at Gracemount Community Garden this weekend. It's the first time I've had to stop midsong to rescue the mic stand, but it was all a part of the fun!

Community Christmas events aren't the same without songs for the kids, and Rudolph is my favourite to play. When playing it through twice I like to play around with the melody, it makes it more interesting both for myself and the listener.
