Our gondolier sang songs
as he took us into shade
Cool waters in our gondola
combined with serenade
The ancient walls around us
and narrow waterways
Venetian history spoke to us
on this happiest of days
It was beautiful, exquisite
and we had a moment there
Tears of joy from what we saw
in Venice everywhere

...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...
