True fact.
My school had a poetry reading in the library and I read something by W H Davies. The Librian told me I read it 'beautifully' and it made me so very happy. It reminded me why I started writing in the first place. And got me asking myself why I stopped.
I didn't find an answer, I just no something changed and suddenly all the words left me.
But I think I'm finally ready to write again. As I walked home from school I glanced up at the clouds and a poem started forming in my head. The words have returned and they're screaming to get out.
My poetry has always been quite a private thing but I feel like maybe one day soon it might be ready to be public.
But for now I think I'll just be making my return to writing right here.
So let's start again.
Let's start afresh.
Hi, I'm Mairead and it's nice to meet you.
