: About Me

hello there - I was born in England, raised in the Isle of Man and now live in New Zealand on a sheep and beef farm.

I want to write poetry and have been writing for around 20 years now - this is the first one I've put on any site. I have hundreds of scraps of paper, serviettes, toilet roll = everything just floating around here in my office! Crazy space.

Would love to write full time - poetry is my way of organising thoughts and sharing real feelings on things that matter to me. I love to read it, write it and speak it - it just makes my world turn.

Favourite quote - those that cannot hear the music think the dancers mad!

My passion is ...

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

My first job ...

working school holidays as hotel chambermaid

My best moment ...

arriving back in isle of man after 7 years

My inspiration ...

the ability of the human mind to truly express itself in all forms
