Between 9am and 3pm is when I work most intensely
I still read Donne, particularly his love poems
Poetry and prayer are very similar.
Time hates love, wants love poor,/but love spins gold, gold, gold from straw.
I always say that I'll have a go and see whether the poem works and if it does, then fine.
I write quite a lot of sonnets, and I think of them almost as prayers: short and memorable, something you can recite.
