Guest Poem by Pauline Hawkesworth

I have been an athletics coach and administrator for over forty years. And, secretary to architect husbands practice for most of my life. Poetry workshops, 2 monthly are very much enjoyed. Also Secretary to Portsmouth Poetry Society (est.1972). I had a hardback poetry book published in 1969 by Mitre Press, plus pamphlet in 1998, from Redbeck Comp. A book from IDP Booklet Comp. 2007 and pamphlet 2017. A love of painting switched dramatically when I was fifteen, to non-stop swamping of poetry!
