POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write mainly poetry for the inner journey. I also have a feisty side-line of writing poetic commentaries on the war industry and politics & culture. "When power corrupts, poetry cleanses" (JFK, Oct 1963)

2.(b) three times a-b, a-b, a-b
3.(a) the final pair of lines change gear
4.(b) a rhyming couplet, -c- and -c-

On Poetic Forms, Nr.04 (Triolets: Theory and Practice)
TRIOLETS - THE THEORY
1.(A) The first repeats twice more again
2.(B) the next once more for sure you’ll see
3.(a) so have a go, pick up a pen
4.(A) the first repeats once more again
5.(a) just choose a scansion, cool and zen
6.(b) and stick to it so flow is free -
7.(A) the first repeats last time again
8.(B) the next, no more for sure - you see.

On Poetic Forms, Nr.03 (Free Verse: Theory and Practice)
FREE VERSE - THE THEORY
This is a poem!
Having put this thought
into your mind
you will read it as such.
If it were just a paragraph
in a newspaper
you would not think
as much
of it.
But
hallucinating
with the thought: ‘poem’ -
you will read it
more favourably.
None of this implies
it is of necessity
a good poem....

5.(a) to finalise something sublime.
LIMERICKS - THE PRACTICE
Cleanliness is next to Godlessness
Try keeping a Limerick clean
and you're stuffed (you know what I mean)
for Limerick lines
have singular minds - ...

On Poetic Forms, Nr.01 (Quaterns: Theory & Practice)
QUATERNS - THE THEORY
1.(A) The first line of a quatern marks a start
2.(b) begins to fix a course the poem takes

6.(A) the first line of a quatern marks a start
7.(c) as flow entices readers cast their vote
8.(a) on...
