A Lovely Face
In this week’s choice, Alfred Lord Tennyson tells the story of the fairy lady of Shallot, doomed to fall under a curse should she look towards the royal castle of Camelot.
Merlin’s Isle
This week’s poem marries history with geography as Rudyard Kipling takes picturesque places and matches them with historical events.
The Created Is Not the Creator
We all experience criticism from time to time and it is often delivered in a form that is neither enjoyable nor helpful.
This England
Today is St. George’s Day and it seems fitting to mark it with some suitable words.
Sigh Not So
This week’s poem comes from my favourite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing.
My Babe So Beautiful
This week’s poem is “Frost at Midnight” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge which I have chosen in honour of my nephew Harry’s first birthday, because it has the most beautiful passage describing Coleridge’s dreams for his baby son.
Full Circle
It is now a year since I started selecting three poems and writing about them once a week.
Hope Springs
This week’s theme is Spring, or at least the hope of it.
