Poem:
Putting pen to paper
On a floral piece of stationery
A conversation commences
Spanning thousands of kilometres
Months in the making
The mood is set
Over a steaming pot of tea
As soft music spins out
From my Nanna’s record player
The birds dancing
Outside my window
Bring a lightness to the room
Though we’ve never met
Words are our connector
You know me better
Than some I see
It’s easy to confide
When talking to a page
Knowing at some stage
Other eyes will read the lines
And take their time
To pen the perfect answer - Poet's Bio: I started writing poetry during a challenging period in my life after joining a local women's poetry group. It helped bring me back to myself and rediscover my creativity. I find inspiration from the natural world, so I often spend my downtime outdoors.
