Life takes over...

6th August. Am supposed to be writing my heartbreak diary blog but as my creative and publicity levels are high at the moment I am taking advantage of them.

My poetry will be connected with this year's 'Cleethorpes in Bloom' - will keep you posted on this nearer the time.

Had a publication today by Forward Press. 'The Christmas Binge' will be included in the anthology 'The Chessboard Of Life', to be published on 31 October 2009.

I have also been spending time in nature, when the weather permits me. Have written a new nature poem today, posted at my local media blog spot and over at My Telegraph, in the creative writing section and, of course, a posting of it here...

POEM AND PHOTO JOURNEY

Stepping Through Cyberspace

Stepping Though Cyberspace

Cyberspace is all I need - Jane Air

Cyber-Day-Dreams

Delays in the collection include the weather - the sun invites me out and I end up spending too much time outdoors.
I daydream too much. It will come as no surprize that most of my daydreams involve my cyberspace existence.

3 July 09. Whenever I get a letter in the post addressed to 'Miss Air', I know that it is likely to be a publication. Forward Press will be publishing 'A Gothic Take On The Landscape' this September.

The Never Ending Tea Party...

Finally, this one is ready to go !

Background notes :

I redid the jam tarts using a deeper, richer red to make sure that the jam tarts were really really jammy. Hope you will agree with me that they are indeed, really jammy jam tarts.

The title for this poem has changed since I first wrote this poem. I feel that this new title has a more overall relevance and isn't just intended for the tea parties that the senior bankers have been having at the taxpayer's expense, but also our MP's.

Strawberry Fair

I didn't make it to Strawberry Fair this year but here's a link to my Strawberry poem - http://strawberryfair.blogspot.com/

Am the second post in google for 'authorsden.com' - I like this position alot !

Am drinking elderflower tea ( flowers infused in hot water then sieved through muslim ) as a remedy for getting rid of the flu. I haven't as yet picked my own nettles to make nettle tea but I am willing to try it.
