D G Moody's picture
Douglas Moody

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.

Dad

A vivid childhood memory. My father was a coal miner who'd had a hard life, and along the way he missed out on expressing emotions.

No Gift Outright

In the mode of Hugh MacDiarmid’s reply to A E Housman’s Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries; taking The Gift Outright as its subject, with apology to Robert Frost. (Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

Mr Smith

This came out of nowhere; but I imagine it was Stevie Smith's influence.

My Valentine

I wrote this to put inside a card I made today, as a suprise for my wife. I says it all.
