This poem’s prompt was ‘abroad’, and it made me think of the feelings inside, the wanderlust, the urge to explore and travel. I spent much of my childhood visiting new places – France, Spain, Portugal, Australia, America, and more besides. … More NaPoWriMo 2022 – Poem of the Day: ‘One Way to Go’
This poem’s prompt was ‘wise’, and it got me thinking… What is the measure of wisdom? Is it something we all come to when we’re old, or something to do with wisdom teeth… … More NaPoWriMo 2022: Poem of the Day – ‘The Echo of Wisdom’
It’s just a short poem today, and the prompt was ‘rain’. I wasn’t sure whether to actually write about rain (which is moderately difficult as it isn’t currently raining, but that’s never stopped me), or just incorporating the word into the poem. … More NaPoWriMo 2022: Poem of the Day – ‘Just a Little Rain

Today’s prompt is gratitude, and ok, I try every day to find things to be grateful for. Some days it’s harder than others, especially if I watch the news too much, but overall I’m exceptionally lucky. I don’t live in a war-torn country. I can vote and I was able to go to school.
