Hi Mika, thanks for your invite to be part of this community.

I'm Bev, and I write a short form of poetry called Cinquains (5 lines long). I'm very new to Substack and learning on the go and trying to keep my joy - I love your ethos and approach and am really glad to have found you on here and will be subscribing. I'm from Northern Ireland but I live in South East England.

My Substack is https://beverleydickson.substack.com/

I share my poetry about nature and wildlife, a thought for the day, and well-being in grief will be coming. My post is weekly on a Friday and the perfect reading length for your 11am cuppa.

My tip - observe and feel the wonder of nature and wildlife.

My daily habit is stillness and silence that helps me to contain my stress levels in my 9-5.

I'm looking forward to exploring who I can connect with on here ✨✨✨

Hi Beverley,

One of my great joys in the teaching career I left behind was introducing my students to poetry. Most of them believed they disliked it until they saw what it could be (something other than the textbook poetry they had only ever been exposed to). I am so excited to subscribe to your Substack and see nature through your eyes and words!
