I paint and write for therapy as I am disabled  though I have achieved the following without the judges knowing that!

Runner up in Sefton writing competiton for poem 'At Farleigh Dene'

Highly reccommended for poems by Andrew Motion and Dylan Thomas's daughter at Leicester University.

Read on local BBC radio stations.

Won a local competition.

I also writeshort stories and a novel.[novel not published]

 

 

I am blessed with sleep,

You know,sleeping comfortably,

and now

mostly without nightmares.

 

I pull the duvet right up to my chin

And hug my teddy bear.

Like a bird

figetting into its nest at dusk,

I get comfy.

 

I keep on the tv

and watch the news.

I fall into a light sleep

thinking,

I must switch of the tv to save money

but too lazy to get up from bed.

 

 

I thank the Lord for the blessings of the day

and drift away………

Day and Night Rhyme

 

I am blessed with sleep,

You know,sleeping comfortably,

and now

mostly without nightmares.

 

I pull the duvet right up to my chin

And hug my teddy bear.

Like a bird

figetting into its nest at dusk,

I get comfy.

 

I keep on the tv

and watch the news.

I fall into a light sleep

thinking,

I must switch of the tv to save money

but too lazy to get up from bed.

 

 

I thank the Lord for the blessings of the day

and drift away………
