  • You Can’t Go Back

    Have you ever spent an entire day, pining for decades gone by? Wondering if you were to dwell long enough, would those dear friends hear you sigh? Have you stepped back into highschool or taken a walk down twenties lane? Those ghosts are gone and living regrets heap pain upon the pain. He chose to…

  • Taking Off

    Three years of waiting- The day is finally here! Taking off and flying north To see those we hold dear. Children beyond excited; Their very first plane flight- Our gladness overflows – We will all sleep well tonight. © M. Patterson 28.2.23

  • When The Writing Wouldn’t Flow

    Tonight I tried to write a poem and all I could think of were the things I shouldn’t say. Sometimes it is in the process of writing from the heart that we realise how much pain we have stuffed down deep inside. Only when I wrote the unfiltered thoughts and discarded them could I find…

  • Accidental Pirouette

    I fronted up to my first ballet class almost a week ago and it has taken me that long to recover! Who knew that I would be thrown in the deep end and trying to keep up with someone who started months ago!!! I started at the barre and pictured it being an easy stretching…
