I’m taking a break.

It”s the first of July, and here in the UK, and in Europe as a whole, we’re having some scorching days.

I’ve decided to take a little break from blogging for this month. I will, however, still read and comment on your posts.

So, to give you something to go on with, here’s today’s poem from my poetry book, From July to December. There is one poem to read each day of these six months. Book 1 is also available. It’s called From January to June.

It’s deep into peach season, so I wrote this in honour of that delicious fruit.

Peaches

A peach with skin so soft.
Breathe in the sweet scent
As to my nose it wafts
Made just to tempt.

Bite into the flesh.
That scent did not lie.
The flavour so fresh
That I cannot deny.

Juice runs down my chin.
The peach is so sweet.
It must be a sin
To enjoy such a treat.

If you would like to purchase a copy of either, or both books, simply click on the cover in the side bare. It will take you to where you can choose your favourite online store.

The books are available as ebooks, or real books.

Have a good summer. See you in August.

A Summer Holiday

1 Comment

I’ve decided to take a few weeks off blogging. It’s summer and time to go out and about.

I’m not managing to keep up with my WIP. It’s ground to a standstill, so I think that if I don’t spend time on writing my weekly blog posts, I might just get some work done on it.

Also, I have an absolutely massive reading list, with the accompanying reviews, and at least 4 medical appointments and a funeral. As the funeral is about 250 miles from here, we’re going to stay with my sister on the night before, attend the funeral and stay with my brother-in-law on our way back.

I will, of course, continue reading and commenting on your blogs.

See you in September.
