My Instagram Hack Fight
Introduction A few days ago I got a message from an Instagram follower to vote for them in some talent competition., the name I won't say in case they have been hacked as well, but she asked me to copy a link that she had sent via a text message. Stupidly I did and then the account got locked, and I was contacted on WhatsApp by someone called Janis Smith from Nigeria purporting to be Instagram Support.

More On Writing On Vocal
Introduction The title came to me while I was out walking, and written down it is fine, but when you say it out loud it will sound very like "Moron Writing On Vocal" which I know is the opinion of a few in the Vocal community, though it does make a slightly humourous introduction to this article.

A Song Of Vocal Tales
Introduction Almost every piece I publish on Vocal has a piece of music to go with it. I used to have a Facebook page called "For Everything In My Life There Is A Song" and very often when I read stories, a song or piece of music will come to mind.

Rose Gold Princess
This villanelle came from a suggestion by my Muse about the colour Rose Gold and gave me a chance to use the word "Acquiesce" in a poem, which I believe is the first time I have used it in any writing. It is the title of a favourite Oasis song of mine which I used to play with Spoon.

Serpent Garden Waters
Introduction There are eight water features in The Serpent Garden in the Alnwick Garden, but there is nothing on their site that documents them. Also, each one has a mirrored description plate which is almost impossible to photograph. They are all described in the blog post below, but I thought I would try and describe them in two quatrains for an effective short tour.

What Happens In Alnwick Doesn't Stay In Alnwick
Introduction This is not about Alnwick per se, but Alnwick has given me inspiration for a lot of poems and I don't like publishing more than one poem at a time, it makes me feel that I am being lazy and cheating, but that doesn't stop me doing it, but I thought it might be worth saying something about how Alnwick gives me inspiration.
