My poetry inspired work (some of it is my own poetry) is featured here today.

Not a Toy

 

 

 

Illustration to go with my poem.

My inner freedom and my independence are both important treasures to me, which I'd defend to the death. Sounds utterly dramatic, but being manipulated and steered into a direction as it suits someone else is horrible, no matter how well meaning it might be. I've always strongly believed that we need to make our own mistakes. It's one thing to share our experiences and help with advice and examples and another to manipulate someone supposedly for their own good. It never sat well with me.

Love Poems - Photo Manipulation

 

 

 

 

This is another mock book cover, this one inspired by Elisabeth I and my love for Elisabethan sonnets and love poems, especially John Donne and Shakespeare.

If I ever publish my own poems, this would be the cover I'd choose.
