A new poem, or rather a new sequence of separate poems to make up the completed work, concerning Mary, the Mother of God is in the throes of nascence.
So far, I have written five out of a possible nine poems. However, the final result may be between seven and nine poems for the actual sequence. We shall see. The poems are based on Mary as the Immaculate Conception and each poem will have, either to a greater or lesser extent, that theme running through them.
This particular theme has always held an interest in me from an early age and now, as a Roman Catholic, I feel fully able, and indeed justified, in writing about it. Watch this space. Thank you.
As the letters after my surname would suggest, I am a member of a religious order; Third Order, Society of St. Francis. I am serving a second term of office on the Provincial Chapter of the Order, as Provincial Secretary and Trustee, my new six-year incumbency starting in February 2023. I have been a Tertiary Franciscan since my profession in 1996. As well as writing poetry, I enjoy the theatre, and have been a member of a local theatre company. I enjoy cricket too, and am a Life Member of Sussex County Cricket Club.
I hope you will enjoy browsing over this site, and that you will find something to help you on your spiritual journey.
