About Me

My photo
Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Born Elizabeth Maiden, one of four children, I have written poetry since the age of fourteen, although it didn't occur to me till recently to save or share the things I wrote as I never imagined as a young adult that I I would ever want to share my deepest thoughts with anyone. Now I keep my poems as a sort of shorthand diary of key moments from my life. My hope is that other 'poets' might derive some pleasure and comfort from mutual recognition of feeling expressed here.

Identified

Identity Parade



My honesty led you to believe I am weak.  
You presumed to insult me thinking I would not speak of it.
Did I appear so simple that I would not recognize slight? 
Was I deserving of Ridicule being thus analysed?

Dreamer, non-entity, plebian and child, 
Yet despite your assumptions I am not As you find me.  
I see your pseudo and recognize its face, 
Duplicity revealed as cruelty surfaced.

Do not assume that my silence signifies your success, 
Or that child as I am I will not seek redress.
Pretty webs will not cover the seeds that you sow, 
Discovery will always await the unknown.
