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

just ducks in the park
so now we’re a couple of old
pensioners
sitting in the park feeding the ducks,
reading the newspapers,
aware that the international situation
looks bad
and trump’s america has changed
sides of bread on which we muse and question
our choice of sandwiches
from tesco’s,
I’d have preferred mine with
french mustard, she says

an unclarity of meaning
bloke in the café
said he’d met W H Auden
just before he died

an unnoticed life
undemonstrative in manner
he nevertheless felt deeply
about his wife and quite simply
said nothing, except to her ..

throw away poems
here’s me hurriedly scribbling as many
poems as I can into a notebook
and who knows what will become of them and
I’m tired and
there’s always the waste paper bin

probably miss one or two
my poems have always been
ephemeral and I might try
to save a few but in general they were
always doomed to die

John Lennon
could have been a great
old bloke
if he hadn’t been murdered
imagine him bald
and having a smoke
outside the pub
when you could no longer
smoke inside
my head
I imagine what if Lennon
hadn’t mattered
but he did and he
still does an old chap in the pub
says

it’s not the end of the world
when the internet crashed for good
it wasn’t me
I don’t drive and anyway I was probably in
bed

I love plays
rehearsals
reversals
re act two scene one
I think,
chaps, we might try
that again
you overdid it, old son,
