POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...
turns out we’re the romantic comedy ..
for our thirty first we went to the pictures
but it was a really creepy film and
even though it had hugh grant in it was
nothing like notting hill

politics can be awful if things don’t
go your way read british library

greater concentration is needed
I don’t enjoy long poems
whereas I can read a novel
of five hundred pages or
so long as they stick to the plot
but a poem requires
greater concentration from the reader
and the poem and the writer
could have cut quite a lot

the only time
I’ve seen a hedgehog once, peering
out of the overcoat
of a homeless old man in chelsea, and doubtless
not his natural habitat ..

and so to the pub, for a stiff reviver
there was something at the back, although

a fear of falling ..
trying not to panic, I look at other
people on the street seem perfectly
calm is cast as the predominant
feeling out of touch me and I’ll scream!

pub and poetry
content to be alone in the pub with poems by whomsoever
you like
rambling around in my head
and yet to be fair I’d rather those that I like
to take the occasional swig from my
pint ..

and you can fill in as many forms as you
want
to just be careful not to regret what you
ate

we love you
doubt we’ll live long enough
to see little
Oliver grow up to be a man, but hope he

of his grandad and
