Tick, Tock
I`m Lissie, I`m based in Bristol, I have four grown up children and a little rescue cat called Jay. I live with my autistic daughter and we love going on adventurers by train together. I worked in a bank, ran a parent and toddler group,made wedding dresses and became a campanologist. Sadly I lost my husband, Steve, to cancer nearly 19 years ago, leaving me to bring up our four young children, sadly started to shut down and found communicating very hard until writing therapy was suggested. This unlocked a lot of emotions and helped me along the road to recovery. I took up poetry again and found it opened up my world, I took up a creative writing course and even friends asked me to write for them, so I decided to start my little business and many years down the line, I`ve had some of my poems published in some anthologies and enjoy meeting people when I'm running my stall at different markets and have been lucky to work with children and met some amazing poets too.
Spring time in the meadows, with all the bright coloured flowers and long grasses....wonderful times ahead

Its certainly been a wet and windy start to this year, but I've still managed to go for my walks. This poem was inspired by seeing all the furry companions of fellow walkers sometimes enjoying the rain ☔️🐾
Birthdays are usually happy events but this one gets to me each year. My angel mother was a special person to me, loved her wisdom, sense of humour and the way she laughed.
