Micropoetry Medley by K. S. Moore
I wrote a lot of micropoetry in the early part of Summer. I shared the poems on Twitter and Facebook, but thought it would be nice to gather them somewhere a bit more permanent. I’ve organised these five poems according to place. The first three were written in my garden, which is often full of…
Sky Dance! Delreves at Waterford Spraoi Festival

Wimbledon and Me – from Tot, to Teen, to Adult Fan
You may have noticed I’ve been rather quiet on the Wimbledon front, this year. That’s because I’ve been holding my breath, watching and hoping more than ever! Of course, Andy Murray and Wimbledon did not disappoint. It has been the perfect tennis story. It makes me appreciate the fact that my Mum always sat down…
Damsel to Damsel – Nature Poetry and Photography
I love writing nature poetry and have been known to dabble in a spot of photography. So, I decided to combine the two in this weekend blog post. My husband George is responsible for the stunning picture of two damselflies, taken at the lily pond in the gardens at Mount Congreve.
Writing Round-up and a Word about Minions
A Writing Round-up seems timely at a stage where I’m halfway through the year, have been working very hard and have a few successes to report! So, here goes:
