Why do I write? by Robbie Cheadle
What drives me to write?
To share my innermost thoughts
The answer is clear
It’s my personal attempt
To make some sense of this world.
What drives me to write?
Exposing personal ideas
To unhearing ears
In this large, uncaring world
I believe I reach a few.
What drives me to write?
To cast my words like pebbles
Into the water
To join the endless ripples
That may swell into huge waves.
What drives me to write?
A hope to instigate change
To do some small good
In a world of endless pain
Doing nothing destroys hope.
Sunday Stills – double trouble

Two male impala

Two giraffe and two aloe vera

Two chocolate and liquorice spiders – you can learn how to make them in my forthcoming book, Sir Chocolate and the Chinese Candy Dragon.

Two acrobats

Two bears
