WELCOME TO
MY WORLD
Gillian Byrom-Smith - Writer
Some of my fondest memories involve books; as a child sitting with my mum reading, studying English at university and working in bookshops. Filling the shelves with other people’s work I often wondered how it would feel to finally write the novel which I had been writing in my head for so long. I enjoy writing poetry and have recently had some of my poems turned into songs and performed. I thoroughly enjoy the creative experience and having the time to let my imagination take flight.
POEM OF THE MONTH
Flying Not Diving
by Gillian Byrom-Smith
Silver stretching skywards.
Skydiving; flying not sea diving.
Piercing clouds not waves.
Her shadow marking time;
a sundial to gulls.
Flying not sea diving,
Piercing clouds not waves.
Lady of sky, lady of sea.
Flying not sea diving,
Piercing clouds not wave
