This is from a daily prompt - Mid-Season Replacement Here in Wales we are running toward the winter. The days are getting duller and quieter.

Rhian Edwards came and gave a lecture on poetry at Trinity Saint David, Lampeter, last Wednesday. Now I am not one for the poetry but this lecture blew me away.

Poetry that I can actually manage!
31st October 2012 It was Halloween and the spooks were out! Actually all that happened was that we had to close the window as the students going to the union party got a little loud.
