It’s a little uncanny that my current writing and the archive posts are showing parallel topics. Last week the new poem inspired by music echoed the archive poem written during a jazz concert (six years ago!). This week, quite by coincidence, it’s work generated on London’s Underground. From this time last year, the archive yields another tube poem. “On the Way to Westminster” is one of my favourite creations. On exiting at Leicester Square, I often wonder if today will be the day I might meet the killer whale.

    1. I’m sure London misses you, too… inasmuch as London misses any of us who find ourselves in its mass. It’s such a crazy trip! But I am so enjoying it. Love your recipes, btw. Yours, BQ
