Alice in Wonderland Anthology
Delighted to announce I have some work featured in this Silver Birch Press publication to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carrol’s Alice – one of my favourite books.
My work is dedica
ted to my great-grandfather ‘Granpop’ who gave me his childhood copy of Alice – might even be a first edition! The featured poem was inspired by my eldest niece Charlotte.
The book is available on Amazon – check out these links – http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alice-Wonderland-Anthology-Photography-Anthologies/dp/0692608559/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451490250&sr=8-1&keywords=alice+in+wonderland+anthology+full+color

Many thanks to Melanie at Silver Birch Press who has kindly featured my work in this anthology
A Robin Dancing
Some tears today for it is so hard
The way to happiness seems often barred
But I look up then and what do I see
A robin redbreast dancing just for me
He chirps and chirrups and he calls
He is so close and I am enthralled
He cocks his head and with a beady eye
He fluffs his wings and says goodbye
I watched him still as away he flew
He gladdened my heart as you used to do
And then I see the sun came out
Your message my love – no need to shout…

Keep your distance please for this is my time
Here in Richmond Park I am in my prime
My antlers are grown and the velvet is lost
They are catching on much – the ferns and the moss
Yet I proclaim my status, I am ready to mate
I hold my heavy head high for I am great
See my determination in my direct stare
The does are there ready and I’m not willing to share
Don’t make me charge now just stay clear
For I am a lusty male red deer
