My name is Coral Rumble, and I'm a poet and author. Perhaps you've bumped into some of my poems in your local library, or when you've been watching TV. I may even have visited your school to perform or give workshops. Whether we've met or not, I'm glad you've found me here!

Things That Should be in a Poem
​
The sleep in my eyes,
The wax in my ears,
The salt on my cheek
From stray night-time tears,
​
The squeeze of my jumper,
The swish of my hair,
The crack in my curtain,
The dust in the air,
​
My skip on the pavement,
My jump from the wall,
The gathering treasure
As large conkers fall,
​
The squelch of my boots,
The mud in their grooves,
The wobble of puddles
Before they go smooth,
​
A weekend of time,
A wide space to play,
I think I’ll collect
A poem today.
