Words mean so much to me. I write a lot because in a way, writing is a survival tactic for me. Sitting at my desk and putting thoughts on paper, seems to keep my world on its axis. Under the Same Stars is a poetry book I wrote and illustrated some time ago, but still means a lot to me. It covers a lot of subjects from homelessness to grandchildren, moving house, and more.

In 2020 I started writing some poetry relating to the lockdown and the challenging times we were all facing and it gave me comfort. Writing ‘Once in a Garden of Flowers’ gave me a chance to look back at certain events in my life too, and the people who are close to my heart. Some of my poetry has appeared on my blog and some is new. If you would like a copy of any of my poetry books or indeed my ‘lockdown’ collection please let me know.

I love writing for children! (Actually, I hope these children’s poems will be enjoyed by dreamers of all ages! ) Reg and Friends is a whimsical collection of poems and quirky illustrations. Come on in!


Little Dove Poetry is my latest collection of poetry. These poems are very much written from my heart to yours. In these rocky times we need a reminder that even in the worst of times there is hope, and I hope this book reflects that.
‘For a thousand pleases, I hope for a hundred thousand kindnesses.’

Thank you for stopping for a while to look at my work. If anything catches your eye or touches your soul, I would love to hear from you. I can be contacted at : lmhalvo@aol.com
