#Writer on the Marches.

The triple hit of pandemic, #BreastCancer and #autism turned me into a bit of a hermit so now I mostly stay at home #writing, looking after my family and my #dog, learning #Cymraeg, contemplating #spirituality, staying #sober and politically de-toxing.

On @creativewriting.social for writing stuff and here for everything else :-)

My first attempt at writing #poetry in #Welsh.

I relied heavily on Google Translate for unfamiliar words but felt more confident in my sentence structure. It's very odd not being able to rely on an extensive language knowledge to construct rhythm and rhyme, but I'm glad to have at least tried! Any feedback would be welcome please (NB poem is over video).

Update on the Valentine's Day Christmas cake: I didn't exactly stick to the recipe, it took 7 hours to cook and is kind of black looking, but my husband very graciously said he loved it 😂
Mae'n fy penblwydd heddiw. Roedd hi'n oer ond yn heulog ar y bryn / It's my birthday today. It was cold but sunny on the hill. (Or at least I hope that's what I said! ) #ymarfer #defaidadon
These girls were born almost a month early on my daughter's farm 2 days ago. Their tiny bodies underneath their coats are so warm and soft! The beauty of animals is astounding #buchod #CowsOfMastodon

#Poetry #FromOneLine #SmallPoems

you became my poetry and I became your grave
rhythmic refrain dying in morendo melody
storm breath of veiled verse entombed forever
dark weeds rent in anguished howl
silent lament
buried
you became my poetry and I consumed you

they danced with such abandon
time erased in moment's breath
Spring bloom gave way to Summer Bliss
Autumn banns to Winter kiss
December blazed white with holy glory
but January would tell a different story

Pibonwy hyfryd yn y nant heddiw / Lovely icicles in the stream today.
Anyone have any idea what sort of a gravestone this is? We came across it on a walk today in Shropshire #TombTuesday
One of my cats wouldn't come home for about 10 weeks last year because he was upset by the dog. It made me desperately unhappy. But now he's back and I'm so, so grateful to have him cuddling up with me on this wet and windy #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #Cath
The seriously creepy owl is taking advantage of the fact that it's #NationalBirdDay
