About me

I’ve nothing to say of any great consequence about myself but that I’m a poet, live in Leicester UK, and began this blog in April 2008 as a means of writing a poem a day for a month..which, I’m proud to say I did. I can’t comment on the quality, mind you.
I tried to put an image up with each poem but if you can find all my poems from April on here, first prize is your luxury item!
It’s called ‘Heckle’ because that’s a working title for my one day collection:
heckle-to shout at, answer back
heckle-to comb out knots in flax
I reckon poets make a damned good job at trying to comb knots out-sometimes we just make a few more though!
I can’t think of anything witty to say here.
I hope to post poems by other poets and nuggets of something or now’t-glam,gleaming things that I pounce on like a jackdaw.
Not everyone likes me or my poetry..but if you stop by , give it a chance, I’ll buy you a tipple of whatever tempts sometime..honest!
And if this gets me writing again, well that will be cool!


Thank you for sharing your poetry Pam.
Caroline.
Thanks for stopping by to read, Caroline!
Pam, the name ‘Heckle’ is great. I’ve only read your November poems, so far, but have thoroughly enjoyed them; I love “Beachcomber”.
Thanks, Michelle. I really appreciate your comments.
I guess that means this is kind of your “blog’s first birthday”. I never realised you had a blog.
So, er, Happy Birthday!
A poem a day, for a whole month – not sure I could do that without going totally round the twist!
(p.s. despite WordPress referring to me as “punctuation” you may know me on FB etc as Ian Barker ‘from Milton Keynes’ – http://www.alexsykie.com)
Hi Ian,
Yes, one year..another long haul with a poem a day.I am round the twist by the end of it! Yeah, that ‘punctuation’ thing threw me! Hope all’s well with you and we’ll see you at Word! or some of us will come down to MK
