My poems are mainly based on life events, things I have either experienced or witnessed through the years. Ranging from childhood memories to stories of love and life, loss and disappointments, even moods and appraisals. Everyday occurrences I'm sure many of you will relate to ... I try hard to paint a picture with my words so that the reader can see my way of thinking. When I first set out writing poems it was just a hobby and a collection of some of my personal experiences and it kind of escalated from there. Soon I seemed to be going through life constantly having ideas and making notes. Eventually I had little notebooks full of my life - not diaries just little stories and that's it really But I have to say a huge thank you to everyone who encouraged me to publish my work. Had it not been for your kind words this would not have happened. Also, to my good friend Graham for all of his expertise with the technical side of things. I was wisely told recently "you only have one life - do it" - So I've done it. I hope you enjoy.
