I never ever dreamed I’d write poetry, but due to the complexities of life; my pen has become my loyal trusted friend. Always by my side through good times and bad ... to read me is to truly know me my inner heartache hidden behind witty words - one day I’ll publish!

Such a lovely haibun. "To read me is to truly know me". This is so real and true. My mother is gone now, but has left behind a number of writings that are simply priceless to me. Her voice, her humor, her wisdom is preserved in every word. I hope you fulfill your dream of publishing, dear one. Don't let go of that dream. Hugs ~ John

I wonder if my life would have been any different had I started writing sooner ... but i was never a poetry lover at school - just hubbies cancer kickstarted me into a hobby I love:-) hugs Jan xx

Funny how life events trigger the poet in us Jan, and we the readers are the ones who reap the rewards from your pen. Keep the words flowing. Good luck in the contest. Tom

Thanks Tom I never wrote poetry until hubby was actually undergoing surgery in the Wirral and I felt so scared, so vulnerable and (because my father forbade me to tell mum) so alone, but that is all past and I am still enjoying my poetry journey:-) hugs Jan xx
