Belong

Thats the blood test done, results on Friday...not a great event to raise the spirits but wrote a couple of poems on wondering about place and where we feel to belong...it's a great word isn't it don't you think... belong, belong, belong...5.3 million google refs and from the oxford online dictionary it is... fit or be acceptable in a particular place or environment.

Lincolnshire CAZ

Caught The Doves on Later with Jools, Latitude festival will mean much more now; also the irrepressible Marianne, I have the album & would recommend. The concept of community poet is in the germination stage...and perhaps to pursue an involvement in the Lincolnshire CAZ to regenerate our coastal neighbourhoods

Lincolnshire's residential poetry retreat

Woody's Top is booked, the poetry residential retreat is thus set for October 20th to 22nd 2009...an inspirational location, communal cooking, bunks, billets and all sorts of poetry work to shop

Fen's and Dales

We went to Blankney Fen, you should be so lucky, we called at Tramps Cottage to talk about the forthcoming humanist wedding...Lincolnshire is an open county and then some; we drove back past the old airfield up through Horncastle to the Poacher's Hideaway...romance was there at every turn.

Hukai on the road

The Hukai concept was introduced by British poet Christopher Sanderson in 2009 in readiness for the Wolds Words festival in the October of that year.

Hukai’s consist of four lines, the first of which is always I remember. The last three lines of the Hukai are based on a real or fictional recollection which holds an ability to be universally visualised.

The Hukai Title is always Hukai followed by a six digit number (arranged in three pairs) with the authors initials preceding the number

Example

Hukai CS 00 00 01

I remember
Sling back stilettos
Naked bodies
Crawling up the wall
