hi one and all – welcome to my blog – here’s where my poetry faces the world – i’ve been writing poetry for the past fifteen years or so, or longer, if i take into account all of the aspirations i’ve held in one form or another about being a writer – the pen eventually rose to prominence and the imagination, once stirred, unleashed a whole array of experiences and situations that screamed and hollered for attention and recognition / once the door was unbolted the biggest shock was the amount of material that can be stored away in the memory box of the human body – all types all descriptions all places all encounters all colours all senses all loves all hates all truths half-truths non-truths fictions lies tales myths legends combined uncombined mixed up stirred full-roasted half-baked ripe and unripe and ready to go at the turn of a page / hopefully most of my work bears some semblance to the human experience, other pieces may have been stored away in far recessed corners and are possibly still coming to terms with the unexpected daylight – just don’t ask me what they mean – i’m only the writer – my work is done – you’re the reader – and maybe your interpretation of the words can be as satisfying for you as the initial writing was for me – go on – give it a try – and thanks for popping in – enjoy : )
