A Poem in Reach Poetry

David striding out...

I was delighted to open the April edition of Reach Poetry (Indigo Dreams Publishing) and find that my 'Lost' poem had been published. It begins in Kent on the expanse known as Romney Marsh, where there is a shepherd's hut* in the form of the small brick structure in the photo above, known as the Looker's (or Lookers') Hut. These lookers were responsible for the sheep. You can read more about them here.

Carillon Sonnet and the Sutton Hoo Shepherd's Hut

I am delighted that my poem, 'From the Shepherd's Hut, Sutton Hoo', has been long-listed in the Carillon 'Sonnets for Charity' Competition. Money raised will go to Worldwide Cancer Research. 

We moved to Suffolk nearly five years ago, and during my time here I have much enjoyed looking out for some of the remaining shepherds' huts that grace the by-ways of our region.
