Two Poems Published

I have had two dog theme poems published. The first one, ‘A Dog’s Life’, a cheeky dog point-of-view, appears in the September Issue (Issue 29) of Peeking Cat Poetry Magazine. I am so pleased to have snuck a dog poem in there! The second poem is another cheeky number – a senryu about a dog checking its wee-mails – which appears in the September Issue (Issue 21) of Failed Haiku.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poem Published by Anapest Journal

I’m double chuffed that my ekphrastic poem about Edward Burra’s painting ‘The Snack Bar’ was published today by Veronica Bruce, editor at Anapest Journal in America. I bought a print of the painting in York in 1988 and it was the first piece of art to adorn the walls of my little house there. I am still so fond of the painting and obviously I had plenty of time to think about what to write about it! I hope my poem does justice to the wonderful art of Mr Burra.
