So this evening is Christmas Eve and in the morning Santa will be coming round with lots of new words, hopefully some books and ideas to write about.
In the meantime Bob Tench, haiku specialist, who has attended Poetry Café in recent months, has sent the following for our readers.
some good some laden
this season ports memories
may they be the best
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.
Meanwhile there is an open mic evening at The Bull on the Brow in Rochdale from 7pm on 28th December – maybe a chance to read, sing, or listen to some of the words Santa has brought.
