Nightmares Before Christmas

My creative brain is currently dormant; like a sleeping dragon it is producing no sparks or fire. It is stressed, overworked, exhausted and stuck in practical mode.

I have to-do lists in my notebook instead of poems:

  • Make an 80th birthday cake for my Nan's birthday on Saturday
  • Clean flats for visiting family members
  • Organise a buffet
  • Buy Christmas presents
  • Buy, write & send Christmas cards
  • Put up Christmas tree (ideally before Christmas Day)
  • Write something for poetry event on Friday
  • Get my car radio decoded
And, as is always the case when you have a lot to do, things continue to go wrong.

My car radio was meant to be ready for me to collect yesterday lunchtime, but apparently it is "proving difficult to decode". So, I now have a gaping hole instead of a radio and still no music. And if this doesn't seem like a big enough nightmare, I have a section of our basement flat covered in towels because of all the rain. I can safely say, if the rain continues, I'll be living in a swimming pool...

I will stop listing, moaning and depressing readers of this blog, and move onto my actual post.



An Amazon Dragon


Knights like to fight giant lizards and dragons
so give them the opportunity

The above is a 'found poem' that I found on Amazon (click here)

Thank you for reading,
