The Rise and Demise of The Maid of Orléans (For Workshop Rhythm and Meter in Poetry )
A child here heaven does call, - shall be brave
Souls must save, fighter stand tall
By virgin hands English fall
Will of God speaks to a girl - precious youth
Witness truth, her fire unfurl
Almighty wrath she now hurls
Fearless, accepting her fate - sad demise
Spirit rise through holy gate
In heaven trust, angels wait

"Classical forms are harder work than free verse in you really have to think about word choice but when its right the results can be lovely . Its a good form for your repertoire and learning metre and how we can exploit…" -

About Me
About me
Hello, just a poet who no doubt has a lot to learn. Been writing poetry since I was 16, I also write songs and tinker on my guitar. I Found writing better than counselling. For me poetry has been a tool, to help me through life’s struggles. I work in Ocupational Therapy and I am a trustee for a charity. Helping widowed people in financial crises. Something very important to me as I have been that widow. I love my son and my dog. Life is about giving and being there for others. I get a lot of rewards from my life now. I hope I learn much from here and many thanks for taking an interest and reading about me. All the best

Favorite Poets
I guess my most favourite is the poet that encouraged me to write. Mr Poe himself. He was a poet stricken with grief and someone I could relate to. I use to read him to death. Since then I have read others such as Emily Dickinson and Shelley
to name a couple. But I also get a lot of joy from reading others who write within communities. Poets tend to take us on a journey
I find it insightful when I read others works
