We have our Last Chance Xmas Market this Saturday. Starting at 10am-3pm – loads of stalls with art, ceramics, prints, vintage, collectables, books and more! Plus open art studios, the May’d Shop, Untether Gallery, HBT Collectables, Yesterday Vintage, tarot readings at Hot House and more vintage at Pearl & Brawne. Grab a unique gift from local makers and creators.

All undercover at

I’ll be at the “Ivor’s Books”, (and Frankie), stall with my books “Tullawalla, Perceptions, and Until Eyes Hear Sound”, as well as various other Anthologies and Chapbooks.
They could be that “Something Different” gift idea for Christmas.

I Found the Key in Shanghai  

Over at Weekly Prompts the Weekend Challenge is the word: Key. You can visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here






I Found the Key in Shanghai 


 
 
Will this be the key?  

To my writer’s beehive 

I am excited 

Expectations are high 

I am nervous 

An unknown poetry guy 


I am fully prepared 

The tummy is full of humble pie 

I am almost ready 

Do I wear a black tie?  

Or jeans, and a Leonard Cohen T-shirt  

That I found in Shanghai
