Hall turns to poetry

Texan supermodel Jerry Hall has turned her talents to writing poetry and is considering publishing a collection of her work.

The 49-year-old beauty claims writing a few lines on waking gives her a positive start to the day and helps express her emotions.

And she is currently showcasing her work to close friends.

She says: "It's therapeutic and it's a lot of fun. I wake up in the morning and write a couple of verses. I've got a whole folder-full.

"I've been reading it to my sisters and girlfriends and they say it's very Dorothy Parker."
