It's an interesting concept; finding hidden poetry within words chosen by someone else. Using a simple black marker and an old paper to create something new.
Poem | Better With Age
I'm ever more aware of how my body is changing as I get older; and though I still have a lot of anxiety about how I look, I have found that I am more at ease with my imperfections than I was five years ago.
Theatre Review | Six – Nuffield Southampton Theatres
A musical that masquerades as a pop concert, telling the stories of each of Henry VIII's six wives? I am THERE.
Honest Haiku: Nine
Today is my birthday! What better way to simultaneously celebrate and recognise my anxieties about ageing, than write an Honest Haiku?!
Poem | Bonfire, Bonfire

Theatre Review | Manon, The English National Ballet – Mayflower Theatre, Southampton

Theatre Review | The Animals and Children Took To The Streets – Nuffield Southampton Theatres

Theatre Review | Fup: A Modern Fable – Nuffield Southampton Theatres
I'll be honest, I had no idea what to expect when I sat down in the theatre, but I found myself partying, laughing and even shedding a few more tears than planned at a surprisingly emotional ending.
