Luigi Pagano
I have published four poetry collections entitled 'Idle Thoughts', 'Reflections', 'Poetry On Tap' and 'Cherry on Top'. See http://gigipagano.wixsite.com/mysite for my latest poetry collection “Cherry on Top” and other publications.
My verses can be described as eclectic, that is to say they go from the sublime to the ridiculous but, I hope, always entertaining.

As Jenny said, you are definitely on a roll. Your description of the fascination that those walks around the Pembrokeshire coast engender clearly reveals your love of nature.
Congratulations on the cherries.

A dysfunctional family and calamitous consequences. A blunt and revealing message of an awful situation.

Hi Di. Talking of cats going missing, prior to Toby I used to have another black and white cat called, what else but Whisky. We had a very long garden which faced a big field and I built a path on which he slowly trundled to the fence at the end...

An atmospheric and nostalgic poem, revealing the affection for a place that is the poet's spiritual home and the yearning that he has to return to his former abode. Enjoyed.
