About Me

Name: R. N. Taber

Location: London, United Kingdom

Sadly, a bad fall in 2012 has left me with a mobility problem, and being diagnosed with prostate cancer the same year hasn't helped, but I get out and about with my trusty walking stick as much as I can, take each day as it comes and try to keep looking on the bright(er) side of life. Many of my poems reflect the need to nurture a positive-thinking mindset whatever life throws at us.

Puddles OR Cues for Positive Thinking

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber

Today's poem first appeared on the blog in 2013.

Now rainy days are not uncommon here in the UK.

Ah, but there is inspiration (maybe even a poem) to be found even in a rainy day. I was once quoted as saying "there is a poem in everything around us" whereupon I was challenged to write one about ... yes, puddles!

As I watch ripples in a puddle spread as far as its space allows, I can't help thinking how all we say and do are like ripples, spreading as far as global consciousness (or conscience) allows.
