I’m now retired and living with my wife and Springer Spaniel in a village outside Cambridge U.K. I have dual U.K. and Australian citizenship, having lived in the latter and also travelled in Asia, in-between living in London for two years. I came back to the U.K. in 1993 as a Buddhist monk and was later involved in interfaith between Buddhist and Christian monasticism, which led to my returning to lay life. I now identify as a Christian – albeit with Buddhist influences!
My interests lie in writing – prose and poetry, informed by my experience of life plus religion, history, and current affairs. I also enjoy cooking, walking (with wife and dog), and the joys of friendship. I have previously posted on UKAuthors. My verse tends toward rhyming, but as a beginner I’m always willing to improve my craft.
Neat and truthful

I liked this Rhiannon; the way you convey more optimism - and we need all we can just now.

What an eerie evocative poem, the language of the mists and hidden places. I really can't add any more praise to what has already been offered above.

Turlough - you have just put the smile back on my face, and I needed that. Such an inspired piece of whimsy - red cherry well-earned!

A smile at Christmas
Posted on Sun, 24 Dec 2023
I liked the play on words Luigi, some much needed light relief at Christmas, and hoping you are having the best one.
(minor point; maybe typo on: 'whose ain wes a safe life' ?)

A sad poignanat refection, and all too true for those for whom Christmas is as much the abscence of loved ones; I thought you expressed this elequently Paul.

You did it Rhiannon, rounded off the series in style; and you got that last Z in perfectly.

So true Rhiannon
Posted on Sat, 23 Dec 2023
Yes, and yes, just as it is, a nice one Rhiannon. For us a change this year; I usually do all the catering, while my wife does all the rest; but this year we go to our sons, so I don't have to do anything - apart from falling asleep watching Dr...

'Grey ‘air-ship’ convoy
Posted on Fri, 22 Dec 2023
'Grey ‘air-ship’ convoy clouds lumber across the sky,' What a delightful image; it reminds me - in the best possible way of Ted Hughes 'tented skies' if I recall correctly; and with all of it a great poem that brings to life the subject. A...
