Kate shares her musings with a growing online community of poets and poetry lovers. Here’s just one of many taken from her online anthology of writing:
A Little Curiosity
Curiosity killed that cat, they say
This isn’t strictly true
Curiosity is vital
Both for me and you.
–
Find one thing that makes
You lift your head and say,
“I wonder what it’s like
to do that for the day?”
–
Get up from your armchair
Cast all your doubts aside
Dip your toe in gently
At least you’ll know you’ve tried!
–
“Curiouser and Curiouser”
Alice used to say.
Just imagine what it’s like
to visit Wonderland today!
–
It’s all imagination
Sweet things that make you sigh
Like art. And dreams. And music
Or patterns in the sky.
–
Poetry and lyrics
And treasured shiny things
Princesses and pirates
And unicorns with wings.
–
Flowers, trees and nature
Boats and Motorcars
Balloons, time travel, spaceships
To see the Moon or Mars.
–
Curiosity killed that cat, they say
This isn’t strictly true
Curiosity is vital
To try out something new.
–
Today’s the day to try it
To create, design, enjoy
So if you’re a little curious…
(Even just a little?)
Delight your mind
Hit the button
And Deploy.
