December Poetry Carousel
Sitting here listening to the birds singing, and the sun vaguely shining, and after days of beautiful weather, it feels like December is very far off. It feels strange to be planning for winter when summer is starting. However, this…
Sunday Poem – Ina Anderson
It’s been three weeks since my last blog. I was under the delusion that it had only been two – time apparently flies when you’re not blogging. Since my last blog, I’ve done a lot of swimming, which started as…
