Donna Ashworth

I love leaving London.

And, you know, because the glamour and the hustle bustle is quite good to experience.

But, oh, I love going home and sitting in the middle of nowhere and looking out my window and just going, ah, green.

Again, because it's just coming through my brain as a message.

So, you know, they come all day long.

I mean, I was filming something this morning with other poets and I don't get to meet many other poets.

We're not a very common breed.

It's not like that, you know, you come across many in your life.

And we were having a chat and we just kept going, that's a poem.

Everything each of us said, that's a poem.

I'll take that one.

No, no, I'm taking that one.

You can have this one.

Because everything is a poem.

Everything.

And that's the beauty of poetry.

It's about taking something that might seem insignificant and finding the perspective in it that actually is really important.

I didn't used to.

I think in the beginning I was worried that I might be influenced unknowingly somehow and copy someone.

You know, you have that paranoia in your brain that you're a really terrible person.
