LAUREN DYE
"If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week."
Charles Darwin.
The Autobiography of Charles Darwin, 1809–82
Writing Poetry
I write this poem
with a rose stem pen
thorns cutting
the curve between
my thumb and forefinger
so blood drips
onto the words
on the page
but then from
the unfolding petals
a ladybird
explores her way out
and dances with my fingers
NEWS:
This is going to be a busy week!
Sorry I have been away for so long, everything gets a bit crazy around Christmas time and then I got busy getting a new job and hunting for a new car.
Well now it's time to get back down to business.
This week I will be attending a poetry reading by Jo Colley at Teesside University on Tuesday to hear her read from her new collection out now with Smokestack Books.
On Wednesday I will be giving a poetry performance at Tuned In in Redcar as part of the Intercity Flow project which I have been asked to take part in.
Come along to watch me perform. More details here!
And on Thursday I will be joining the other poets performing with me on Wednesday night at a symposium at Teesside University to discuss our creative process. If you want to come and talk t ome about poetry, or anything else, then get yourself there.
Information can be found here!
