I like old songs and new musicals. I like cats and dogs and snakes and rats (the pet kind, that is; not the vermin). I like it when my children visit. I like my husband's affectionate touch. I like my friends. I like getting into pyjamas at four in the afternoon on snowy days, tea and chocolate and a favourite book on the go. I like warm spring days and rainy summer nights and the nourishing crunch of autumn leaves. I like that Americans call autumn 'fall', for that is how we get those crunchy leaves I joyfully kick through. I like my bedroom, my personal space, decorated to my taste and tidy, like my desk. I like my desk. I like my noticeboards, my quotes and pictures and pinned knickknacks. I like my chaotic noticeboards; they are my admission that life should sometimes be messy. I don't like writing. I love editing. I like that I will draft these tatty lines into a poem one day, and remember sitting with this group in this place in this moment, and smile.
