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.

I wrote this poem, 'Finally', over three years ago as an acknowledgement of my own journey. I think it is finally time to share it. It still resonates and is a constant reminder to never give up following your dreams. Let me know if it resonates with you too! 🙏

I'm really delighted that my poem 'Leaving' is the Friday Feature with Thistle And Thread Press!

Trees I meet on walks.
I get to know their seasons
if I really see.

I wrote this poem over three years ago.
It's about the very real phenomenon
of lost cables.
It really did happen.
It's meant to be funny.
Maybe I think it's funnier
than it really is. 🤔🙄

It was so lovely playing at the Halloween event hosted by Transition Edinburgh South yesterday. The weather was a bit on-off rain, but it wasn't super cold and it was great to see the people I usually hang out with in the garden.

I wrote a part two to my "I AM AN IMMIGRANT" poem from a couple of years ago. A bit more of a 👊 this time, but sometimes that is needed.

Happy International Stammering Awareness Day. This is my contribution this year. There are many things misconceptions about stammering out there still, the notion that it can be overcome is a big one and it's very damaging. Just don't say it.

Morning sunrise walk.
Light creeps from the horizon,
radiant hedgerow.

I'm chuffed to bits to have two of my poems featured in the online series of @shinepoetry.bsky.social. Link is in comments. Thanks Samantha!
In my other life I do crochet design and make the ❄️❄️❄️ for sale. They're really easy to send as gifts as they come in a biodegradable bag that fits snugly into a card... 🩵
It's that time of year where I stock up my Etsy Shop and try to get people to plan for Christmas waaay before they really want to... but snowflakes are really not just for Christmas, are they? All these are available now.

At last. After months
of flowers hugging the light
it's our turn to shine.

Autumn frames itself
better than anyone else.
Look deeply, it speaks.

It's #bandcampfriday today and here's a wee reminder that you can still listen to and buy both physical and digital copies of my EP 'Getting Real' that came out almost 3 years ago. Link is in the linktree in my profile. Come on, make it real!

My take on the superpower thing from 3 1/2 years ago. I stammered since I was a child and worked to live with it well for the last 3 decades. If you love it it becomes a source of strength, and both it and you transform.

Wee practice the other weekend and the first part of 'Baby Can I Hold You' by the one and only Tracy Chapman. Have played it forever and never tire of it! My voice is getting almost back to normal - or it was, before I got this bad cold!

Morning coffee tastes better from a handmade coffee cup. This one is made by Sharon who attends The Columcille, a day service in Edinburgh for adults with support needs. I'm lucky to teach movement there and bagged this treasure yesterday at the autumn fair. #handmade #pottery #morningcoffee
OCEAN HEART (2006)

My heart is an ocean
with differing depths
canyons, reefs and magnificent structures.
Mountains stretching towards the light
and bottomless pits
all teeming with life.
