I love to learn new things: to attend workshops, weekend retreats, webinars, YouTube (Gardeners' World is one of my fav's!) and read books on topics that I am interested in.
In late 2025, this led me to signing up for a writing course. It was a free, adult learning class run by our local Institute of Skills and Technology and a local tutor. The original course was entitled Journal Writing for Wellbeing, which was wonderful and really got me inspired to write more regularly. So, when Gillian Moon, our fabulous tutor, decided to run another one, I was all in! This class was "Write Your Way", where we could explore journalling, memoir writing or creative writing. During one of the classes, a prompt mentioned writing a poem. Well, I don't think I've had any attempts at poetry since we were forced to at school. This seemed as good a time as any to give it a go. I must admit that I really enjoyed it! So, I thought I would share my second attempt with you all (I'll share my first poem with you all in a future post as it's a bit more personal to our story).
I'm curious.... do you write poetry? Or write in any form? Do you also have a love of learning?
Standing at the edge of the sea......
This is the threshold
Between land and ocean
But also, between worlds
Where solid
Meets fluid
Where known
Meets unknown
Magic happens here
The vastness of one
Touches the enormity of the other
The tides come and go
Come and go
As do the days and the seasons
As do the people
But the ebb and flow remains
There is something special about this meeting point
The thin veil
Between two worlds
