Something a bit different today. I’ve been writing poems for a while, but in the last year, I’ve been joining in with #mlprompts on Instagram. The lovely hosts give out a list of prompts every month, all on a different theme, but always to do with mythology and folklore. I’m enormously interested in these subjects, as you may know by now, so I had to join in!
I’ve done several paintings and begun to write poems which I’m happy to put out there for you to read. I’ve had some good feedback on my work, so as a writer and artist, that’s lovely to have. I’m including some of my poems here. They’re all inspired by nature, myth and folklore and include the subjects of Lughnasa, Samhain, mid-winter and Yule, which are all festivals of the Celtic people.
I’ve had several people suggest that I make them into a book of poetry, so have a read and tell me what you think!
