Patricia A Ward (Tricia Ward)

I am a busy mum of two, married to a delightful man. I love to write poetry, cycle and do photography. I am a business owner, a professional dog walker and a youth worker.

I started writing poetry when I was a teenager. I have been included in a number of anthologies over the years. I full list can be found here.

I try to write in a variety of topics including life , poetry, writing and faith. I also blog. I dabble in a few things including Jewellery making. All of this helps to support my ministry which is where my real heart desire is.

Hubpages is a way I can write and get feedback. I would love to say that it provided an income to help support my mission work but sadly it doesn't. (Maybe one day Huh?) It is mostly just a way for me to relax.

  2 years ago

  I recently went to see Prima Facie in a the cinema starring Jodie Comer. It was stunning, brilliant, shocking and harrowing. It left you in awe of the playwriting and the acting performance yet somewhat haunted by the truth of the storyline. This poem is drawn from a few thoughts.
