  • unnursery rhymes

    I have been re-writing some nursery rhymes to make them more topical but probably not suitable for children: mind you, were the originals okay? What do you think? Is it all a bit unnursery? Three blind mice, three blind mice. See how they run, see how they run. They all ran after the farmer’s wife…

  • pome for national potery day

    Apparently today is National Poetry Day. In honour of this I shall attempt a short (free verse) ode but also refer you to the pomes section of this blog if you are a glutton for poetic punishment. You can find them if you scroll down ye menu on the right hand side of the page*.…

  • something for the weekend? (with apologies to Mr Wordsworth)

    I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze…   I blundered lonely as a clown That floats a pie with thrills and spills When…

Weekends are Designed for strengthening us when we feel weakened: Rest, recreation, relaxation and re-creation are…

    At the recent conference for ministers of larger churches I was introduced to the American Slam Poet Taylor Mali. I like potery and I have written a few pomes in my time (you can see them on the ‘pomes what I have writ’ section of this site) but I was really inspired by him so…

  • je ne regrette rien

    We are following a series of sermons at our church at the moment: ‘Living life in all its fullness’. On Sunday morning we will be looking at ‘Living without regret’. It’s a theme that seemed important when I prepared the series. In preparation I have been wrestling with Peter after he had denied knowing Jesus.…

  • Loose ends

    A lickle pome for you to contemplate… Can you ever tie together all the loose ends of your life; and if you did, what would it look like? Afraid knot.
