Welcome

These poems are the fruit of almost 30 years of occasional writing. They were written as private reflections, or for friends and family. I hadn't intended them for public consumption, but people have told me now and then that they thought I should share them, so I have. I shall add new poems if and when I write them, though a lot of my words tend to go into sermons these days!
If you find something you like and find helpful, you are welcome to use it and share it, but please make sure my name stays attached to it.
The poems are posted in no particular order, but the labels - click on links below - should help you find poems on various themes.
There are also separate pages on this blog containing links to music composed by my husband, Philip, and to Christmas stories which I have told here at Seal in place of sermons on Christmas Day.

Connected to the mains

How many tears does a world deserve?
How long should we cry?
Is a year long enough - or should it take forever?

Think of this.

When we have been connected to the mains
and weep the unshed tears of others
is it a surprise to find ourselves
knee deep and soggy
or could this be what Christ meant
by "springs of living water"?
