Saturn's Arctic

Below is the image I used for the poem Two Springs.

Although the photograph - taken  from the Cassini space probe in 2006 - uses false colour to highlight the complex weather systems at Saturn's arctic, I've written the poem based on this photograph rather than what you can actually observe on the planet.

Here is an edited reading of the poem I read at The Troubadour on the 26 June 2017

I hope you enjoy the poem

The Troubadour Coffee-House Poetry End of Season Party

It was a great end of season poetry party at The Troubadour last Monday night.

It was a great evening full of lively and interesting poetry from a whole range of poets. 

I loved every minute of it.

I'm incredibly grateful to Anne-Marie Fyfe who runs Coffee-House Poetry evenings at The Troubadour. She continues to be a support to me and hundreds of poets out there.

Greg Freeman was there with his own poem, a camera and note book. Here's a link to Write Out Loud where you can find the review of the evening. He even mentions me and quotes a line from the poem I read.

Poetry at The Troubadour 26 June at 7.30

On Monday 26 June there's a poetry party at The Troubadour in London.

It's going to be hot. It's going to be crowded. There's going to be music. There's going to be wine! There's going to be poetry.

Come and join us!
