Any time is time to rhyme!

As you probably know, I love to rhyme.
I’ve had this passion for some time…

See what I did there? Anyway, I take the view that rhyme is like most things in life, the more you practise it, the better you get. That’s one of the reasons I write a monthly poem for my newsletter readers, it’s a good way to keep my hand in. (By the way, if you are not already a subscriber to my free newsletter, Dogpigeon Post, please complete the box in the sidebar and I’ll put you on the list.)

I have found, the more I write in rhyme, the more I think in rhyme, and have recently taken to keeping a kind of ‘rhyming diary’ – the equivalent of an artist’s sketchbook – of rhyming thoughts as they occur. In particular, over the summer, I produced a series of ‘beach rhymes’ which I have been sharing on my Peta Rainford’s Books Facebook page.

I thought I’d gather them all together and put them on this blog. I am not aiming for Poet Laureate with any of these. As I say, I am just sharing my sketch book. These are my rhyming doodles.
