Halloween Poetry 2
There were several festivals that were held by the ancient pagan Celts, one of which was Samhain (pronounced Sowain). In order to wean them away from their pagan worship, Pope Gregory III, in the 8th Century, established November 1st, which had been the pagan New Year, as All Saints' Day, and November 2nd as All Souls' Day (all those Christians who had died unknown).

Halloween Week. Day 1
As it's Halloween week, I thought I'd post a few of my Halloween poems. I'm going to post one each day until Halloween itself. In the Haunted House The wind it blows cold.Like ice down my back.I try to be bold, But courage I lack.In the haunted house. It seemed such a larkWhen we set off tonight.

Carthinal’s Practical exam, Part 2.
This is the second part of a chapter I removed from The Wolf Pack. It wasn't adding anything to the story, nor to our view of Carthinal, either. This hasn't been edited, nor critiqued, so please forgive any blatant errors. Carthinal was excited to be taking the exams that would end his apprenticeship. There were written ones, but it was essential that a mage should prove he could use magic safely so a practical exam was also deemed essential.

I’m taking a break.
It"s the first of July, and here in the UK, and in Europe as a whole, we're having some scorching days. I've decided to take a little break from blogging for this month. I will, however, still read and comment on your posts. So, to give you something to go on with, here's today's poem from my poetry book, From July to December.

A Powerful Comment and Plea to the American People.
I'm not an American, but I am concerned about what is happening there. It will, and already is, affect the whole world. After reading this, I felt I must reblog it. Many of my followers, and others who read my blog occasionally, are from the US and are worried about the way things are going. Mike isn't the only one affected in this way.

I was recently asked if I would post on Roberta Eaton's poetry blog, Writing to Be Read. I was greatly honoured, as I admire Robbie's poetry. She has interviewed me, and reviewed my poetry book, January to June. One Poem a Day, Book 1. The interview includes one of my favourite poems as well as a couple of mine. Here is the latest Amazon ranking for this book.
