Poems aye, right! Welcome to my poetry blog. If you pitched up here on purpose or inadvertently stumbled onto this site, either way, I hope you won't be disappointed and that you'll stick around long enough to read something. Iain Pyctte Colville. Saturday, 20 December 2014. A life in the day. I think this was the first poem I ever had published, at least, it was amongst the first, appearing in Reflections. He went a-poaching, seen as ancient right. And rounding wooded hill as day awoke. Accursed, for in...

He could smell the fields, and the soil and as he looked across the platform he was sure he could see his father walking up to the station to meet him. But like everything else in his life, they were all gone, a long time ago. He could see a light in the window of the Rectory. There would be a new vicar living there...

That was what she thought as she stepped off the bus. She hadn’t meant to get off at that particular stop, but the large woman by the window seat had asked to be let out. It stopped at the foot of the road leading to the railway station. Karen walked to the bar while the woman looked behind to see if there was anyone coming in wit...

Bertie is, as Bertie does , was what my Auntie Clara used to say just before she would laugh so hard that a bubble would form at the bottom of her nose. Then she would hold her sides and say, one more laugh and I might just wet my knickers . It was in 1906, that Uncle Bertie and Aunt Clara became custodians of the Kings Arms local hostelry. Aunt Clara’s f...

The ND's nigh...: One Saturday in November...
http://nd-mitchell.blogspot.com/2015/04/one-saturday-in-november.html
Thursday, 16 April 2015. One Saturday in November. Tennis balls torpedo town,. Widow smiling in a hearse. 4 by 4 treats gravel badly,. Glory gone, glum pumpkin shivers,. Rain rehearses, monsoon moon,. Sugared water tips the balance,. Mood enhancers lift the gloom,. Cheer the nation,. How many voices are in the station? 16 April 2015 at 15:15. At first this made me think of a crazy hail storm in November, ha. But then I got caught up in your alliteration and rhyme. Fun piece, David. 17 April 2015 at 16:45.

Resistant But Persistent: Cherish is the word I use to describe
http://resistantbutpersistent.blogspot.com/2011/04/cherish-is-word-i-use-to-describe.html
Playing with letters, dabbling in words. Monday, 11 April 2011. Cherish is the word I use to describe. It's not often that I spend an evening by myself. It's such a rarity that, when I imagine it, I build the idea up as a special treat, a chance to do what I like, an opportunity to pretend that I'm a grown-up independent woman, in charge of my own destiny and decisions. Half an hour home and I was already feeling a bit sorry for myself. I turned on the TV - not just for the sound of the voices; this ...

That summer, that glorious glorious summer, sat on the shoulder hills of the little village and warmed the hearts of its inhabitants. Miss Sligerhorn was the gentlest of all creatures and considered most men to be brutes. The Colonel, on the other hand, was a brute and considered most women to be useless. In London Town life was increasingly fraught and was...

The ND's nigh...: May 2015
http://nd-mitchell.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 5 May 2015. Promise in the Year of Election. Election talk goes,. Tic-a-tac-a, tic-a-tac-a,. Down the decades,. Dribbling the ball of blame,. Psycho-babble blocking out the airwaves,. Debating us to death. From malleable manifestos,. Passing, passing,. There boldly go this season's. Cybering strong and proud,. Pick off babies in the crowds,. Calculated, sound-bite smiles,. To buy us into line,. Still, we're content to buy them time. And time and time again. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ndmitchell...

Century, she was simply known as ‘Aunt Gertie’. Contained within the pages were scribblings to suggest that Aunt Gertie had been a paramour of the new King of England. Anniversary of t...
