Introduction

Hello, my name is Mel. I live in a lovely town on the border of Wales and England. A river runs right past it – hills, woods and fields surround it. I’m joining this poetry challenge as a new and exciting exercise in writing discipline and creativity under pressure. Hope to stay the course. Poetry has been a constant and rewarding companion for me throughout my life so far. Looking forward to this venture – all best to those taking part and good luck.
