Born in Weston-super-mare, England. Schooled in the Vales of Glamorgan then moved abroad learning new customs, traditions and languages. Been writing poetry in more or less a lyrical form on and off and this since my teenage years. Have had quite a few published poems over the years. More recently I took part in a course of Creative Writing and passed it with Honors. I have been collecting some of my pieces in order to make my own publication though to date it is still in the idea phase. / / Recently collaborated on published book entitled : Twisted Shorties I by A.F. Stewart / More recent: anthology and collaboration in Twisted Shorties II by A.F. Stewart / / This summer published a collection of poetry and prose entitled A Packet Of Seeds / http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/a-packet-of-seeds/13660012 / / The above publications are available online in book form or as an eBook.
Is there someone out there that can make the insecure, secure?
The lost become found?
The weak become strong?
The introvert extrovert and all things in-between?
The ugly more beautiful?
The headedness and nightmares become more of a joke?
The sounds in the background become solid and free
Chuck out the garbage
The ties that bind thee
Those that put you in trouble of the deepest kind
The ugliest of mothers hellbent on revenge
Taking out pennies from someone else's den
Is there someone decent and cool
To help get along in the life of a fool?
I am the pest the irregular verb
Adjectives, hyphens the comma's full stop and nerds
All comprehensive found sometimes expensive
So you'll never know what kind of gift wraps inside
Quaky, Jackie, Stumble bunny and fall
Am running amok for the sake of it all
Sinderella what a fella
He went to the garden zoo
Played hokey cokey
Oh what a jokey
He even drank the soup
Happy Halloween you creeps!

The flowers are exceptionally cold this season
The rain leaves much to be desired
Mr. & Mrs Sunflower are expecting seedlings.
Good old sounds of pitter-patter on the mud;
"Delve deep little ones - for the earth is rich and good".
Standing two meters tall
Where did I leave me shovel?
Grannies dead and buried,
Grandad he went to war.
Yes, in our house, like a bees -nest
There's honeydew; it feeds us
Gosh, I am so very tired
I need to take a rest
Lying here - just catch my breath
Let Mother Nature do the rest
R.I.P as they will say
One day upon my grave
Lest we pray; behold, my children laugh
And rise again shall I,
Through the wonders of an age old myth
Of time and evolution - life!
Now praise the Lord my soul to give
And keep me warm inside
A glow of peace in troubled times
My memories, a myth
God Bless You!
