How lovely to not only be able to enjoy a bar of chocolate, but also to have a Shakespeare #sonnet to read afterwards! Fair play to #Chocolove ❤️

I’ll be reading from my new collection of #haiku and #senryu, ‘Wishing Tree Note’ (Alba Publishing), launched just last week. Since it’s #FathersDay, I’ll be reading my Poolbeg sequence, as my Dad was the chief designer of the chimneys there!
