My Black Swan Calling

A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence that were obvious in hindsight. I was originally going to do a modern-day Decameron, 100 poems over 100 days during the lockdown. To date, I have written over 1600 in total So, how appropriate a title, "My Black Swan Calling & other Poems "

This book of poetry will be a roller coaster ride of personal emotions with my love of nature showcased throughout, with some highly metaphorical poems. Join me on a personal journey through nature and a final chapter, on dark poetry, dedicated to the Dark Poetry Society Facebook group and my fellow co-owner, muse and best friend Amanda Jayne Benton.
