Beautiful Truth

Performance Poem see the link and listen rather than read. It is in French and English - credit to my sister Matilda for the beautiful translation.

beyond the storm

Reflecting on perspective. As a performance poet - I have included the video link so that you may hear it rather than read it.

A Mothers Love

my cousin just had a baby in lockdown and asked me if I would write him a poem. Having not met him yet I wrote one of a mothers love, hoping she didn't meant that she wanted one about a cat or something. It's best to hear my poems since I am mainly a performance poet - link to the video included.

This is a fantastic idea. I love a party too - whatever the excuse for a knees up (booze up). I'll be there with a bottle.

This is a very evocative and clever piece of writing and describes the situation extremely well. If only it would touch the heart of the person it should the most and yet only the kind hearted will be the ones saddened.

These are are extremely clever. The depth and importance of the subjects coupled with the jokey rythm  of the Limerick bring a rather dark humour to the whole thing.

Oh my gosh - take it to HR. That's complete bullying and harassment. Don't let her get away with it.

That is good news - as good

Posted on Fri, 04 Dec 2015

That is good news - as good as you could hope for in the circumstances anyway. I know you might feel like you are not out of the woods yet and you still have cancer but it's a positive milestone passed. You can take comfort that your suffering...

I think we all had them in

Posted on Sat, 24 Oct 2015

I think we all had them in one form or another. My son says there are monsters in his room - he is 2. We ask him what he would like us to do with them and he says "take them down to the conservatory - they can sleep there". So we do.

Posted on Fri, 23 Oct 2015

Interesting piece. I liked the voices too. How they think and express. Made me sad because there are many such families struggling. It's easy to judge but when you hear each story you find reasons why and how things have become that way. People...

This is a poem of great depth and courage. It's really inspiring.

Posted on Fri, 16 Oct 2015

I was waiting for that ending all the way through. How often have we spoken to our children like that in order to protect them from something nasty. It struck a chord.
