Three Spring Poems to Inspire you

Three Poems to inspire your writing, a haiku by Yosa Buson translated by R.H.Blyth, 'Seeds', a rhyming poem by Walter de la Mare and my own poem, 'Nature table' which uses repetition to create a rhythmic sound pattern.

Wednesday Writing Tip – Capital Letters?

Do you ever wonder why some poems have capital letters at the start of every line and some don't?

When you are writing you decide; it's your poem!
