The festival is over
The music’s faded for a while
But thirty thousand wrists
have a memory for a smile
Little ribbons full of colour
Worn with pride until they fade
Tokens kept and treasured
For nostalgia stored and saved

...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...

I’ve just reblogged this now – no idea why the system didn’t do it this morning – must have got distracted in the middle of doing it!
