I have been writing poetry since I was a child on and off. I am also an amateur photographer, and if you check out my photography blog, you will see that I also love poetic pictures!
Many of my poems have arrived in my head without warning, a line or a thought, or a perspective on something I see, which I pour out in words, and then later, I read it and have no memory of putting it all together. Sometimes they are great (well I think so anyway!), other times they need a bit of work, but that’s the fun of the process I think.
There are some repeating themes in there too, words I seem to use a lot, subjects that get a regular airing in various attempts to give voice to feelings or thoughts. It’s all part of the way writing works for me. I don’t usually work too hard on ‘fixing’ my drafts before I publish, but I do tidy them up from time to time!
I hope my words bring pleasure to those who read them.
In short, I love to read, I love to write…..words bring me pictures and pictures bring me words!

Thank you for your kindness in nominating me for this award, I am very honoured that you thought of me! I wont go through with completing the process this time though, as I have just done this recently and a number of people that I nominated expressed how difficult it was to keep finding a new 15 people to nominate, or conversely how hard it is to decide which 15 people to nominate, and in either situation, it created stress for them!

On your blog I read that you love words that bring you pictures and pictures that bring you words. That’s also my case because I’m a french-canadian poet who can also read english poetry. This friday sept. 26th, I got you last book from lulu.com where I also have my french poetry books for sale since many years. I started to read your micro poetry and enjoyed it quite a lot. Since you mix poetry and pictures, why not join the international movement Immagine&Poesia from Torino, Italy. Most members all around the world are english speaking. Here is the movement’s website : http://immaginepoesia.jimdo.com/index.php. Wishing you the best from Quebec, Canada !

I know what you mean about poems arriving in your head…I experience my writing in a similar way. It’s always been a mystery to me where the poems come from. I love your work…really bright and fresh.
