Poetry
Poems of mine have won prizes in national competitions, been broadcast on BBC radio
and published in magazines ranging from Woman’s Weekly to, shortly, the Bumblebee Conservation Trust’s Buzzword.
My poems are also used across Britain in a variety of projects, including:
Poems for ... (previously known as Poems for the Waiting Room)
Poems for the Waiting Room does what it says on the tin – it provides poems to be put up in waiting rooms in hospitals, GP surgeries, dentists etc.
“Poems for the Waiting Room is an inspired scheme, which combines two of poetry's sacred powers: to be entertaining and salubrious. I've been delighted to be a part of it.”
Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate
A number of my poems are used in the project.

York Rotters are based at St Nicholas Fields Environment Centre and Nature Reserve, where I have performed It’s Buzzing! We are currently developing other poetry-based activities together.

A healthy eating campaign in Southend, Essex
To celebrate Valentine’s Day 2006, all the staff at Southend Hospital were sent a copy of my poem Passion Fruit. This was part of a healthy eating initiative to encourage staff to eat fruit as a snack. An accompanying cake was made in the shape of a heart, decorated with fruit.

National Poetry Day, 2006
To celebrate National Poetry Day 2006, Tri Arts, the Arts and Humanities department at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, worked with Graphics students from Falmouth College of Arts to produce A3-size poems to be displayed as posters in wards, public spaces and waiting areas. The students chose to create a poster of my poem Passion Fruit.

Kids Food Trek, Oxfordshire
Kids Food Trek is an initiative that helps children with eating problems to enjoy eating, and to eat healthily. It has been developed by Dr Catherine Dendy, former Children’s Feeding Specialist at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. My role is to create ditties, poems and songs for the children to recite and sing that tie in with the food they’ve been playing with, exploring and eating.
