POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
writing poetry doesn't make me a poet, who hasn't written poetry at some time or other...

we used to argue all the time
but since we're both getting older
and we haven't so much time
we simply huddle together (since life
is so much colder .. )

a drinking vessel with motivation ..
a glass is a rather odd thing,
now that I come to think of it.
I mean, after all,
it is certainly a thing,
although it is a thing
through which you can see
the things
that lie behind it
whereas
with everything else
I often look for
what lurks
at the back of it all
and yet
I seldom
find it ..

the unexplained and nobody asks why club ..
they sit of an evening
around the fire
telling stories
of the strange
and unaccountable things

that open
automatically
freak

you're eyes not unnaturally lingered
to see a man

and she said oh, so you actually went, then ..

all I can see are a pair of empty
looking glasses ..
