Meandering down through ancient town
A trickle now, a stream
Belying far more turbulent times
In its history it has seen
Sunshine on the water paints
A quiet picture now
Yet not many years past, the floods rose up
To Prison Hill’s high brow
No mark left now of that tragic time
A memory left alone
As Lewes sees more tranquil days
In its peaceful Sussex home

...all about me and my life in words. I write most days, carrying an ideas book around in which I capture a word snapshot of life around me. So there's a lot here about Sussex and the sea and anything else I see that inspires.
The pictures are mine too. Some taken to match a poem; some poems written to match a pic; others chosen because they work well with words written.
Jemverse is life in words. Hope you enjoy the reading as much as I enjoy the writing...
