Suffolk - Tanka and haikus
Suffolk – Tanka and haikus
Aldeburgh Tanka Scallop shell in steel Sensuous susurrus sounds Summer’s sunset sigh. The gull strewn shingle shore stills. Cobalt turns gunmetal stark.
Linked Haikus
Rust yellow remains. Sheds salt proof brown in autumn When surf tides threaten.
Shoreline trees wind bowed before winter’s blind tempest, Stand taller inland.
Pointless way-markers headed wayward.…

Sicilia – a Tritina
Storm ravished waves invade every headland. Marauders ruled, bold tyranny took hold. Armies’ brutal blades broke this fragile world. Temples rose, fell, ruined; another world- View spread terror and chains and strife inland. Brief futures, enslaved freedoms, lives on hold. People ploughed, planted, struggled to behold Days without graves to hasten the next…

The Crabbers’ Curse
How did I get into this mess? There I was in the middle of the North Sea bobbing up and down in an old clapped out crabber hefting creels of crabs with a couple of Kalashnikovs pointing at me……….

A re-imagining
This is my fourth re-imagining – of a story, a myth, a tale or of historical characters. this link takes you to the other re-imaginings.

Sisters Were I bold and modern, truly shameless I’d elope to Rome, a poet’s love to be, and live in lovers’ lodgings, flagrantly in sin, beyond convention’s loneliness. I would…

Les Enfants Terrible by Jean Cocteau
Cocteau was poet, artist, novelist, dramatist, film-maker and survivor of the Nazi occupation of France. There is a fantastic museum in mentor about him and there is an iconic photo by Lee Miller taken immediately after the liberation of Paris in 1944.
This book is iconic. Perhaps his best known work after the film Orpheus. Two adolescents play out a…

The Ferryman, Cramond
The ferryman lives the other side. I ring and wait. Wondering if the tide is coming in or out. Ring and wait. He comes in his own time, the ferryman does, always…

La Belle Epoque – a short story
“Inside the restaurant car of the express train Daniel found himself alone at a table carefully rearranging the cutlery, the flowers, the glasses and the uneaten bread and fruit until a familiar voice caught his ear. Why did he turn to look? How things might have been different if he had not. He knew she had seen him, but perhaps it had taken the surprise out…

Book Review- The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
Book Review- The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
This was one of the Not Just the Booker Prize course reads. And I loved it. Told from the viewpoint of Briseis, the noble Trojan woman enslaved by the Greeks and the centre of the dispute between Achilles and Agamemnon, the tragedies of the Trojan War are played out. This book is brilliantly written – the characters are real, alive and portrayed with wit and style. Barker has taken care to…

Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
The first in the series.
Some early reads are definitely memorable and these tales of derring-do in the Lake district by children allowed to camp and sail and cook food over fires while having adventures in holidays were captivating. When you are…
