My sister read my face and said do you want to take the dog out- you look like you want to be alone. What a lovely sister! I had a lovely walk. The day before I had read a poem from the floor for the first time in front of an audience. I was so nervous but I did it!!!!
Ruby ran off into the avenue of contorted trees. I had the guts to let her off the lead this time. It was only our second walk alone together.
Then I took her to my old sixth form college - she liked it. It's an art deco building-she's got good taste. We continued our walk up a steep busy main road that falls away one side to grass and came across a man sleeping under a tree heaving with blossom.

From my garden: I like this combination of Ajuga and white anemone, though it's not a particularly good photo.
Congratulations on your first poetry reading. It is the most difficult one for sure. Now you're ready for more. Most poetry folks are kind and appreciative of your words. Have a great week. LL
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorenzo. I agree I have definately found poetry people to be very supportive and encouraging. There was a lovely community feeling about it all. You have a great week too. Sonia
ReplyDeleteMy dog, Robbie is peculiar. He doesn't really enjoy walks BUT he likes to run out of the house when the electric gate is open.Then he runs - yapping away at other dogs in their compounds. Us? - we are panting like mad running after him!!
ReplyDeleteRobbie sounds like he has got quite a sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteThe nice thing about reading to other people for the first time, is that it will be easier the next time! x
ReplyDeleteI do hope so jinksy as i would like to do it again without being convinced i am about to pass out.x
