Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...
black forest blues ..
walking in the woods
the ground was wet
she lost a shoe in the mud
I didn't know what to do
and so I laughed
oh piss off, she said ..

a change in the temperature ..
like to think if things had been different
snow would be warm
and people struggling home through the snow
would remove all their clothing
and walk home naked together
whilst it's snowing ..

heat wave in the city ..

I make for the pubs the galleries

seeking for a little shade
who dances
most likely beneath my feet ..

a quiet night in ..
it is one of those evenings, sitting
silently at home, during which 'one' rather
infrequently acknowledges the 'other'.
an unlikely concept, I feel, whilst
sitting here 'together', requiring little or
no discussion whatsoever ..

the aggressor is always the victim ..
violence was never my thing
I remember getting beaten up in school
it didn't particularly hurt
but I didn't want to disappoint him so
I lay there inert, you

his old london remains ..
all I know is that he spends his
days in an old red brick building
in town, engulfed by the growing
glass structures growing up all

poem from the west of britain ..
walking along a west wales beach
marvelling at how these waves
will eventually reach the united states
don't think the tide goes out
quite that far she says ..
