On this podcast where we share all things poetry, today's poem is following our theme of love in a slightly different way. Growing up, unrequited love had always been something I was well versed in so this poem explores that as well as the possibilities that can happen when we do put ourselves out there to find love.

Welcome to the valentine's special of the Bounty Bunch podcast. No matter what you may think of this holiday, it is a day to remember who we love and why we love them, if nothing else. It doesn't just apply to romantic love either but all love that we wish to share into the world as today's chosen poem will also reflect. Today's poem is all about the different types of love and what it means for e...

On this podcast that has poetry in its heart, we are celebrating a month of love poetry, something my next poetry collection to be published will be focusing on.

On this podcast that celebrates poetry and those that craft it, I have the wonderful Emily Hustwick joining me on our monthly partners in rhyme episode. Emily is a budding poet, fairly new to the poetry scene, but ready to take it by storm I feel, in the way a storm can start as a gentle breeze that gathers momentum till it stops you in your tracks. Emily is a therapist and founder of life behind...

On this podcast that explores a love of poetry, today's poem reflects a time in our lives where we start to form stronger boundaries than the ones we may have previously had. Written from a prompt this poem shows how we can call closing time on those that choose to ignore our boundaries and treat us the way they always have. This is a reminder to all the people pleasers of the world, you don't hav...

On this podcast that is dedicated to the sharing of poetry we delve into a poem that is all about comparison. Remember that expression 'Comparison is the thief of joy' and 'The grass is always greener on the other side'? this poem explores both of these concepts in a way I hope it gets you thinking. Do you compare yourself to others? How does it make you feel? If you need any help with this or wou...

On this podcast where we share all things poetry, I've got a dark and juicy one for you today. Today's poem 'Were you there?' is all about AI and technology taking over. Imagine the dystopic future you are familiar with in films such as terminator and see this as the road where it all began. I really enjoyed writing this poem, but gosh, sometimes its a bit terrifying thinking of what could be in t...

In this podcast where we share poetry and the stories behind them I am sharing some poems that bring us head first into the new year. The new year is a bundle of possibilities and trepidation, but let's bring it on in the best way we know how...with poetry! In the episode I share an abecdarian poem I wrote last year. An abecdarian poem as I describe in the podcast is a sort of alphabet acrostic po...

Just to note that whe...

On this podcast where we delve deep sharing poetry and talking to those who write it, we are in full festive mode...or at least some of us are. Christmas can be a very tumultuous time for people. It can be the cause of great stress with the costs mounting up, it can be a time of grief where we remember those whom we are no longer celebrating Christmas with, but it can also be a time of great joy w...

On this Podcast that explores poetry and how it can help in allowing us to reach out and communicate our feelings, I will be sharing a poem that started my self-publishing journey. 'Broken' is a poem that explores how many of us with depression can feel and how it is masked to the outside world. It looks at how communication is key and how we should never brush over our gut feelings, even if we ar...

This episode we explore journeys and overcoming our own personal obstacles to get to our final destination. We look at ways we can help our friends and loved ones who are going through that journey and remind ourselves to look at our progress no matter how small it may appear.

So much to unpack in this episode. She has a YouTube...

On this podcast where we explore poetry and its powerful hold on us, we are exploring the theme of bullying on what is Anti-Bullying awareness week. So many of us have unfortunately had the experience of either being bullied or witnessing bullying and we need to keep fighting against this act of hate and fear by not shying away from talking about it. By standing up to it, we can begin to take cont...

In this episode we are exploring feeling lost. It is something that so many of us feel in our lifetime and yet we always fail to remember that all things that are lost are always eventually found. Sometimes the path back can take longer and sometimes we may need some help to navigate, but we are not alone. I hope this episode brings comfort to those who are feeling this way and please share this e...

On this podcast about all things poetry, how could I not share some spooky poems with you! Today's poem is one from my upcoming book 'Bound', all about different types of relationships. The relationship I wrote about in 'One final Kiss' has been heavily inspired by all the dark and broody characters I have come to know and love from the supernatural/fantasy worlds. I have also been joined by some...
