Creative Corner

This page is for anyone who feels that they may like to share their love of gardening, allotments, and the great outdoors within the form of a poem, picture-perhaps a painting or other creative from, perhaps even a piece of music.

For a poem feel free to express any form or shape from two lines to a fourteen line sonnet, a sestina or free verse, whatever gets the creative inner poet in you writing.

For a piece of art you could post a painting of St.Ives or send in a collage of a vegetable!

But if anyone is nervous the first post will already be provided and of course if you do not feel like sending anything you have personally created to us you can always post one of your favourite poem, paintings or perhaps a short story on any theme that may envisage the gardener, wildlife or the countryside.

The first creative entrance is a poem byLiz Cowley

Nails by Liz Cowley

Pet hate among my garden loves –

ten broken nails. But garden gloves

don’t let you feel how plants are growing,

or quite which way their roots are going.

I’d love to grow both nails and plants.

Impossible – no bloody chance.
