I started writing poems around 2005 but only did a handful. When I retired I wrote a few more and will carry on writing poems, I have also wrote a couple of short stories. I have a web site if you would care to look. You can leave comments on my site, your email is private and is deleted after leaving your comment.

I have read my poems in Melborne Australia and in Cork Ireland and numerous places in the UK.
Before my eyes brilliant colour, perfection
Dancing gracefully in every direction,
The world of trees, the art of nature
Are simple reasons for a painter.
...
The hen night is a girls night out
Time for them all to bond and shout
They say all they have to say
Prior to the wedding day.
...
I was fit and feisty at fifty
It was no big deal
Because that's how half a century
Is supposed to feel.
...
A slumberous sense of seclusion
As sleep is drifting from my eyes,
I look upon the translucent shade of the morning dew
While I, moving slowly do arise.
