In 2013 I started a BA in English and Creative Writing as a mature-age student. After a lecture on poetry, I found myself, much to my surprise, inspired to write poems of my own. Suddenly, out of the recesses of my mind, surfaced memories of myself as a teenager filling notebook after notebook with experiences of thoughts and emotions put into poetry. I realised then that I had always enjoyed painting pictures with words and the inspiration had simply lain dormant for all these years. Now I am catching the colours of my creativity again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
