I wrote these musings last year for a prompt on shared freedom. My take is maybe a diversion, but in the end I think being free is about having choice. Being really free on an inner level is about choosing what is right, not easy. Share and be free! ✊

The second of my IMMIGRANT poems. This one is maybe more of a statement though! In a world where you can pretend to be anything you want to be, be real. ✊

Oh glorious life!
Every year you bring forth
such parcels of joy.

I was thrilled to get a physical copy of Shine Quarterly Issue 6 yesterday and to see my two poems 'Ajar' and 'A Burning' in print. 📖🧡 They were published online in October, but it's extra special to be in the quarterly. @shinepoetry.bsky.social 🫶

Happy International Women's Day. 💜 Don't forget, the bleaker the world, the more we need to stay true to who we are and to show up. Keep shining those unique colours.

Well, hello! 🦊 Very cute visitor in my garden yesterday! Hanging around for a bit, clawing at compost bags, scratching the soil. Then traversing neighbouring gardens before travelling on. I hope she comes back. 🦊🦊🦊 #urbanfox #urbangarden #citywildlife #foxy

I just love this LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM T that I got from lovemusichateracism.edinburgh.
I had compliments and positive vibes from so many people at work today. Next step has got to be a T-shirt saying 'Love Music, Hate Fascism'!

Cold, golden morning.
Feet and fingers freezing
but seeing the sun rise
rouses hope
the glow will grow
into warmth.

The sun is out! And my garden is calling me. The ground is too frozen to dig, but I cut back stuff. And the first coffee of the year outside is heaven! A cold one, but.... 😎🥶😂

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago in solidarity with immigrants everywhere. I am Danish but have made Scotland my home. Not everyone is welcomed by all. But we are all earth inhabitants. 🌍

It's Burns Night tomorrow. I found
my printouts of Robert Burns songs the other day ... the Quodlibet used to be one of my favourites! I especially like the chorus. 🤭 It's not so well known, so I thought I'd post a couple of verses.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. (Maya Angelou)

I wrote this quite a while ago and I decided it's time to 'call it out'! I decided it's also time to call out the Scandinavian Jante Law, the ... it's of course not good to think you're more important or better than others, parts it is very toxic to creativity! Do you have any creativity blockers??

I'm loving this collection by the wonderful Salena Godden. I saw her perform with #neureekie about a decade ago and still remember it! I love this justification for writing about certain other people - if there's ever a poem about you, you know! 😜🤨

Happy Hogmanay! 🥳 I know, I did it already, but I had some time before going out, and there was a roundabout decision process that ended with me brushing up the Danish version of Auld Lang Syne... I thought it was a fitting tribute to my adopted home!
