From the very earliest times I can remember I have written poetry. All of my emotions the highs the lows found their expression in poetry. When I hid from them, denying them life or release they still escaped in poetry.
Much of the poetry I have written is pain ridden, reflecting, my experience of life, as I stumbled from one crisis to the next. There are a few however that were written just for fun, light pieces of frippery born of my far from conventional sense of humour.
My daughters showed from an early age that they had inherited my love of poetry and I have included some of their work here. Enjoy
There is one poem here that could be triggering, Though there are no graphic details you may prefer not to read Bruised Flesh if you are sensitive to rape or abuse issues.
