Hi guys.
Just wanted to let you know that a video version of 'Sonnet from Stratford', a poem I wrote for NaPoWriMo, has just gone live. Click on the link here to watch it. I hope you enjoy it.
In other news, I have almost completed the next installment of Frynwys Features, which is a fairly tricky task due to the slow nature of news in the village. Still, despite the rather dull pace of life here, there are still stories to be found and you'll be finding out what those are in due course.
I can also confirm that more poetry is in the works, along with an analysis of Owen Sheers' 'Mametz Wood', in preparation for my own poem about the battle. I'm hoping to do more features about individual poets on this blog so be sure to stick around for that.
Those are all the updates I can think of for now, but if there are any more I'll be sure to let you know.
Anyways, enjoy the new video and I'll see you all soon.

New Silent Animal Poetry
Hi guys.
Just wanted to let you know that a new episode of Silent Animal Poetry is out on YouTube, the first in a long while. This time it's about a Roan antelope living on the savannah of East Africa. If you like poetry featuring antelope (which is a bit of a niche market to be honest) then check it out on my YouTube channel by following this link:
(Silent Animal Poetry Episode 5: Roan Antelope)
Also coming up, we've got more poetry, a few more articles and a further update on the Mametz Wood project.
Hope you're all having a good 2017 so far.

'Ghosts of Sariska' and Poetry Updates
Hi everyone. Just a quick post to let you know that my new poem 'Ghosts of Sariska' has just been uploaded. I will only post the text of the poem on this blog if there is a big enough demand for it. It deals with the extinction of tigers from Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan in 2005. It can be viewed here at this link: (https://youtu.be/V6fhzutVnSI)
In other news, there will be another Silent Animal Poetry episode coming out very soon, and my First World War announcement is now scheduled for this Friday. Also, I'm considering attempting National Poetry Writing Month which is coming up in the next week or two. I'm in two minds on the subject at the moment, but I will make a decision in the next few days.
Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Wolf's Milk and Launch of Silent Animal Poetry
Hi everyone. Just a quick update followed by a bit of poetry.
This is a new poem entitled 'Wolf's Milk', and I'm putting this out there today to coincide with the launch of an idea I've been thinking about for a while. For the next few weeks, I will be uploading a silent, non-verbal rendering of an animal poem in video form, under the banner Silent Animal Poetry. Hopefully this will make up for my failure so far to upload the video version of 'Kalua'.
Anyway, without further ado, here is the first entry in the Silent Animal Poetry series:
Wolf's Milk
A wolf sits under a tree.
Grey fur, yellow eyes
and lean from days
without a kill.
Two cubs suckle,
hairless and pink,
mewling and squealing.
They could almost be
her own pups.
Their tiny hands grasp
at their wolf-mother's fur,
feeling for her teats.
Builders and conquerors
grow on she-wolf's milk.
(This poem depicts the she-wolf who, according to legend, suckled Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. Here's the link to the video version: http://youtu.be/1HH4Lw8kZh0 )
