Back to Being a Poet

Being a little despondent about my novel writing attempts, I decided to go back to writing poetry. My work as a Health visitor gave me so much inspiration, the people I met, their joys and their sorrows. There was no shortage of subject matter and I eventually wrote over 200 poems. One Scottish publisher expressed an interest until his funding from The Arts Council dried up! 

Being a poet is not a very lucrative pastime. But some day, as with the short stories, I will sort them into bundles and pubish them to Kindle. A bit like sorting out all the old photographs - a task for my old age!
