Now retired from the Government service where I worked from 1968 to 2003. Born February 1950. I am married to Anthony Cox since 1971; we have two children - a daughter Yanda; and a son Khama. Writing poetry is my dearest hobby. I enjoy the aspect of abstraction in haiku. Beside my writing I spend quiet time reading and crocheting. I also enjoy a challenging game of Scrabble. I am a member of the World Haiku Club and some of my poems appears at World Haiku Review, my work can also be read at The Heron's Nest, In Buddha's Temple, Charnwood, Wordchimes, and poetry.com My poetry site is PatchWork, poetry for the whole family.

trying to visualise
how the blind man
visualises everything
sunlight
burns away the fog
a moth
this morning—
the shining window
of summer…
winter thoughts
midnight, persistent heat …
unable to close my eyes
each day
seasons changing
sunrise
sunset
sunrise
summer noon ~
mango juice honey
with cardomn ~
midday moon ~
garden filled with
alien birds ~
chillies soaked
in buttermilk dry
in the miday sun ~
shadows turn luminous ~
a wandering butterfly
gently aligns ~
warm night
shadow looms
in the darkness
