Happy New Year!
WordPress very kindly made a review of my blogging year and invited me to share it with you. However, on the assumption that a list of statistics about my blog is probably more interesting to me than to you, I’ll instead share a wee bit of poetry taken from the start of my short story collection A New Year’s Trio (available on Smashwords , Amazon etc.). This is extremely rare, since I write poetry only once or twice a decade. I hope you enjoy it, but if you don’t, at least I won’t be troubling you with any more poetry for a while. 😉
On the Nth Day of Christmas
That dayless week between Christmas and New Year
When it’s all over and it hasn’t started.
Finding space for new presents and new life,
Three leaving the stable that two had entered.
A pause, a plateau, an intake of breath,
Ready for the wheel to turn again.
