Thanks so much to the wonderful @AmySparkes for another brilliant session tonight on Emotional Connection. So many snippets of wisdom so generously shared, including the immortal line “pull the rug from under their feet and drop a whompf on them”! Highly recommend 😊 #amwriting

This poem was written following a morning on a beach on the St Lawrence Seaway. It’s the place I return to mentally when I need to restore calm. I’m glad I seem to have been able to do it justice in words. @AmySparkes @writementor @shireenbee @JetheridgeBooks @clare_roarty
