This is just a quick little poem today – I’m not really sure where the inspiration came from, except perhaps the cold weather outside, but I hope you enjoy this little bundle of contradictions melded with some deeper truths. They are hidden in there somewhere, I promise!

Firefly
This week, I’ve got a cute little poem that uses a firefly as a metaphor for love for you – I hope you enjoy it! There’s some similar poetry in Intricacies Inked In Ice if you’d like to check that out, and, of course, don’t forget to go and have a look at my latest novel, The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane, if you haven’t already! But anyway, onto the poem!
Fly The Nest
Hi there! I have a nice little poem that was previously available in Watchdog Zine for you today, which will be perfect if you like birds (just like my poetry collection On Gentle Wings – trust me, it’s completely full of bird-inspired poetry).
Take Me With You
For this week’s post, I’ve decided to highlight a poem which was available in Issue Five of Ouch! Magazine, but is unfortunately no longer available. It’s got some pretty cool space vibes and I’m pretty happy with it, so I hope you enjoy it! Look out for some more news about my next novel release, The Demon Of Darkenhall Lane, next week!
Love Letter Penned By A Pining Princess
For this week’s post, I’ve decided to highlight a poem that was previously available in TUGZ Magazine but unfortunately isn’t accessible at the moment. Nevertheless, I’ve got it here for you today and it’s suitably based around LGBT+ themes, particularly trans romance, for Pride Month. I hope you enjoy!
Two Thieves, A Little Help & Guilty Of A Lie – On Gentle Wings Excerpt
Exciting news – On Gentle Wings will be releasing very soon! I’m aiming to have the ebook out during this week and the physical copy will be following shortly. You can check out my Instagram or Facebook page to keep up to date with the exact day of release, or sign up to my newsletter on my home page to get an email when the collection is published! For now, here are three poems I’ve picked from the manuscript to share with you today – I really hope you enjoy them!
Home-Hopping Moth
If you haven’t already checked out the free ebook copy of Cats Home, then now is absolutely the time to do so! I’d love to hear some feedback so any honest reviews would also be greatly appreciated, and the print copy will be coming soon! But for this week, I also have a poem for you about a confused little moth, so I hope you enjoy this too!
Haunting Of Dust
Before we get into the poem this week, I have an announcement which I alluded to last week. My big news is that Cats Home is going to be released on the 15th September – yes, tomorrow! This is the release date for the ebook, which will be available at some point tomorrow to read (for free, as ever) and also the date on which I will upload the print book for publication. The print book versions always take a little more time than the ebook versions, so I hope you won’t mind the wait. But anyway, with that out of the way, please enjoy this little poem about memory and dust.
Their Little Thoughts
This is a short poem that was previously published by Morning Fruit Magazine, but as the website for the magazine is no longer available I thought I would highlight it on my blog instead. Also, make sure you look out for next week’s blog post for some exciting updates about Cats Home!
Arms
This week, I’ve got a nice little poem about feeling safe in someone’s arms for you. Don’t forget to check out Commute if you’d like to read more of my poetry!
