Poem of the Month

Delighted to see that Adam Rudden of Lapwing has chosen my poem Butterfly as poem of the month for February.  It is included in my new collection 'Swimming with Dolphins

The poem is reproduced here 

Butterfly

It isn’t easy

Trying to make sense

Of these impromptu

Little sketches

And I need more

Than a fleeting glimpse

To appreciate the subtly

Of these ostentatious moments

Unless you’re trying to tell me

That I too

Might one day

Emerge from the darkness

That I too

Would have my

Twenty seconds of summer

And walk in a world

Beyond my wildest dreams
