I’m English, Italian

From Switzerland too,

I’m now in my sixties,

And how about you?

I’m a sucker for breakfast,

It’s my favourite meal,

granola and yogurt,

But gluten free please.

My intestines are stroppy

Due to my IBD

Microscopic colitis

Makes for crap company.

I’m very artistic,

I’ve a ton of ideas,

Losing my creativity

Is one of my greatest fears.

I discovered poetry

Just one year ago,

At a time of my life

When I felt really low.

I write funny poems,

Well, not all the time.

Some are really romantic,

And a lot of them rhyme.

My poetry is easy,

It will make you smile,

There’s a poetry book coming

It’ll be out in no time!

When I’m not busy writing

I like to crochet,

I’ve made several blankets

And there’s one on the way.

I also like sewing,

Making colourful bags,

My huge stash of fabric

Is a little bit mad!

I’ve written a romcom,

A tale of love in the sun,

It’s called Just Like a Movie,

And I promise it’s fun!

My romantic comedy, “Just Like a Movie”, is available on Amazon, and is currently being developed as a screenplay in Los Angeles. My poetry book, Illicit Croissant at Dawn, should be out in April, 2025.
