His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

My aim is to breathe life into our rich literary heritage, and to add to the tradition through my own writing. Your support helps me to continue. If you have enjoyed my poetry readings please consider purchasing my book: 'Poems for Susan'. I will send you a signed copy! www.poetryfromtheshires.com/shop Written during the summer lockdown, the poems tell a story of love and distance, the bond between tradition and modernity, and ultimately convey a message of hope. In his foreword, Raymond Keene OBE writes, "Poems for Susan functions as an overview of the entire English tradition of poetic creation, in terms of varying style, rhythm, meter, rhyme and subject matter. While poetry such as this can still be written, civilisation shall not sink, the great battle of the mind shall not be lost, and the rough beast will - along with the passionate intensity of the worst - finally be overcome".

Lovely reading. I used to read poems out loud to my residents. It’s a really good experience as you gain confidence and put passion into your words. 🙏🏻

It's "Donder" not "Donner"....that's the Americanised version 😣
