Want and Need

Want and Need (24th November, 2011) The weight of your silence makes me feel old: lead weight replacing a promise of gold. Resurrect your idol just where she fell,

Chunky and The Human Dustbin

A room full of posters That old black and white TV Beach towels and ping pong A cassette player you tarted up for me Rock pools, sunburn That time we nearly drowned at sea

I Know I've had my three poems a day,, but I couldn't resist...it's like chocolate!

Funeral Rites When they bring the coffin to its rest, a small piece of paper on its crest you must read, and read aloud, to the close assembled crowd,

Passing Thoughts

Been struggling with writer's block for some time

The Garden

another nature poem

For Granddad - 21-11-2011

My own little way of saying Good-bye & God Bless... Remembering once again not to take friends, family or those special times for granted

past victories

A poem born out of every writer's frustration.

Sonnet - poem 5 (abroad, at sea)

The lake that was once a pond to us is Opening the sweet flowers of its earth Mirror ripples reflect one face as us And rivulets to my core fire their growth

Please, Sir - poem 4 (abroad, at sea)

I know she'll forgive all those guilty sins and the ridges of my fingertips leaving long prints on soft skin.
