Funfair, Mablethorpe


Children's ride
looks safe enough -
alas: too tall.

a sea of paving
and King John's Wall

The Case of the Dissed Diva, Scene 1


Ooh! Jasfoup's in this.

Have a listen, leave a (nice) comment?

The Case of the Dissed Diva, Scene 1

Elizabeth Coup


Visitors long gone
Elizabeth and James
wait for redemption

White Paper


A very scary story today, one that will give me recurring nightmares. All writers will recognise it.

Ron and Pat's Handfasting


Hand Fast, sweet Love

they arrive in twos and threes
bringing food for the table
and a sense of wonderment
for a wedding in a garden

a circle of witches
an altar and an open fire
(constrained, for the sake of the neighbours, in a pit)
and the scent of lavender and mint

Corners called and vows exchanged
over rope and broom
as the mid-day sun is occluded by clouds
and we wonder
about the chance of rain

Weir, Leamington Spa


Hiss of water
and sleeping geese -
penny whistle tunes
