Our poems are all inspired by aspects of the British countryside, with a focus at the moment on the north of England.
A warm welcome to Richie Mais who has submitted a poem that we are delighted to include on this web site. Those who have walked in the Malham area of North Yorkshire will especially enjoy Richard’s powerful and evocative work: Malham Trod.
Terry Watkins is a skilled, evocative writer and we are delighted to include his poems "A Storm on the Moor" and 'The New Forest' Without further ado we will let the poems speak for themselves.
