Good morning everyone. I haven’t posted any new poems today because I am trying to tidy my blog a bit. There were too many poems in the general section, so I’ve pulled some out and put them into a new category, ‘Animals and Nature.’ Have a look by clicking the link in the menu top right, and I’d be interested to know what you think.
