What a lovely poem about winter! Thanks so much for this - I love the beautiful imagery. I could feel the silence and peace as I read, and the intimacy of those fireside chats. Wonderful!!

Wondering if you might like to write for a new pub where I'm editor? The theme there is that the pen is tethered to the heart, which yours certainly is. The pub owner, J Oliver Dempsey, loves poetry; you would fit right in!

Also perhaps you'd like to write for my pub, Hope, Healing and Humour?

No pressure for either of these, of course, but I love your writing and both J and I would be honoured to publish your work in our pubs.
