art
Poetry and art go hand in hand; in fact, a poem is just art in the written form.
Spooky Month!
Boo! Sorry did I scare you? I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween this year. I know we did at our house. I have decided to compile a list of all my entries for my Writing Prompts for October Challenge just for fun! Some of the order got a little messed up during the submission process so I wanted to feel a little more organized. Feel free to read through them and let me know which ones are your favourites.

Celebrating Impact: Benjamin Zephaniah
I had heard of Benjamin in the 90s, having read his very clever and talented poetic creations that speaks life as it is, but I had never met him. Then, out of the blue, a BBC TV producer called me to ask if I would do an interview on a special topic relating to the British public honours system. He wanted two of us for the interview, me and this awesome poet called Benjamin Zephaniah. I didn't know it then, but it seemed we both shared an uncompromising principle - that of standing up for what we believe in. We had turned down nominations for a public award: Benjamin for an OBE, and I for a peerage to the House of Lords. Our reasons were also similar.
