The Book, The Burial, by R. Penman Smith is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and directly from Tate Publishing. The Burial is a Spiritual Thriller with a dark twist and a redemptive outcome. The story springs out personal experience; ‘write what you know about’. Those who are comfortable with fantasy and are not afraid of the reality of the spiritual warfare inherent in Christian life will love this book.

SecularSacred and Nonsense

Imagination is the faculty through which we discover the world around us, both the world we see, and that other unseen world that hovers on the fringe of sight. Love, joy and laughter, poetry and prose, are the gifts through which we approach that complex world. Through the gift of imagination we have stepped into an ever flowing river where the realm of Faerie touches Middle Earth.

‘Tis of the Rose I Beg Her Pardon









“Tis of the Rose I Beg Her Pardon.

Of all the flowers in the garden,
‘Tis of the Rose I beg her pardon.
The daffodil springs only in the spring
Even though she is a lovely thing.
The Rose blooms summer, spring, and fall,
Border shrub, garden bush, or climbing tall.
Reds and whites, pink and palest yellow
Bold and striking, or colours mellow.
Chrysanthamum will make you sneeze,
Like Ragweed borne upon the breeze.
But fragrant Rose with perfume pure
Sends for its message a sweet allure,
That bids me pluck it long before
   The bloom is off the Rose that I adore.
