Hello, and I guess I could claim that this latest Blog title of “Opening Up” follows theme of my previous offerings of “Forward Gear & Cruise Control” , but that wouldn’t be totally true, although the sequence does follow logically,... by James | May 18, 2022 | Blog |
After my last two Blog themes that were “Consolidation and Forward Gear” I’ve now moved onto “Cruise Control” as I have picked up speed to my usual rapid pace of activity again. Read on to find out how and why as I won’t tease you..... by James | Apr 27, 2022 | Blog |
I can only call this new blog Forward Gear as I am certainly moving forward on so many fronts i can hardly keep OOoooop with myself. Yes great and exciting stuff, but fear not i will tell all but ONLY after just having to repeat that I’m “often imitated,... by James | Mar 29, 2022 | Blog |
As per the Blog title, “consolidate”, that is the Blog theme and so consolidating it is then. I certainly have being trying to consolidate and build on those little positive shoots of hope as we begin to live with “Curse Covid”, alongside all... by James | Mar 3, 2022 | Blog |
So as we have just gone into March and life generally seems to be opening up a bit as Spring, and also after “the worst?” of Covid, I thought that a Blog title “Marching” was extremely apt. LOL well I’m like that as I write poetry you... by James | Feb 9, 2022 | Blog |
So another Valentines Day is coming on February 14th with all that goes along with it. Forgotten, hidden from, or ignored by some, prompted by others or perhaps even eagerly awaited by fervent lovers, and boy does this world need some love at the moment! ... by James | Jan 24, 2022 | Blog |
Stirring but not shaken sounds a bit like the famous James Bond drink that was shaken but not stirred, but now I certainly have no claims to be “Mr Bond, James Bond”, but I “am” stirring but not shaken though. For yes, we must stir and shake... by James | Jan 4, 2022 | Blog |
A brave new year then, but will it be? A good question I think because after all our “Happy New Year” wishes are done, what awaits us I wonder? Many people are still cowed and hiding from Curse Covid I think, while many are refusing to get vaccinated or... by James | Dec 17, 2021 | Blog |
Forgive my play on title of “One man and his dog” that t v programme about sheep dogs and their masters, for I just mean me as a “one man band” largely in my Poetry World, although I MUST say I’m supported, encouraged and complimented by... by James | Nov 24, 2021 | Blog |
Yes, my old and trusted saying “If you don’t go fishing, you won’t catch fish”, (nothing ventured, nothing gained), so I am constantly metaphorically fishing by striving to improve, and achieve more although in truth my “Poetry World and... by James | Nov 4, 2021 | Blog |
Laughter then, as is reflected in the title of my latest and 10th book, “Laurie’s Bundle of Poetic Humour”, and contains no less than 76 of my “Humour Section” poems that feedback has indicated are favourites and the most popular. I think... by James | Oct 18, 2021 | Blog |
Lift off then is the title of this my latest Blog for us, and while I always try to make the title relevant I I think that this title is right for many reasons, personal to me and perhaps life generally. Readers of my previous Blogs will be aware of my total... by James | Sep 27, 2021 | Blog |
Welcome to another of my Blog articles, and also to new “sign ups”, and don’t the Blogs keep coming round quickly? A bit of a poignant title which will unfold as to why soon, BUT as a change I’m going to start with first verse of a poem I have... by James | Sep 9, 2021 | Blog |
The scales are a great balance and measure of a good foundation of justice and right, so I have led with them. For if anything is to stand and last it must have a firm and well-prepared foundations, so best if i put up the start of my poem from my ninth book, to be... by James | Aug 17, 2021 | Blog |
Delivering, now that can be a manifold subject and perhaps my photos attached will expand on a delivering theme. Sadly an iconic photo from 1940 of a milkman delivering as usual, but in the rubble after another night bombing raid during The Blitz on London,...
