People & Poetry

 People, music, a scent, a color or just an expression can convey them to mind and you find yourself transported to some other time and space, sometimes good sometimes bad.

Characters on the other hand, are people that you remember often and occasionally talk about even though you may not have heard from or spoken to them for years, the mark they left on your life is often remarkable but mostly it is  erasable. 

People, events, travel, nature, animals and just life have inspired my poetry since I was young. Enjoy!

Blog

I was not sure why anybody would write a blog, if it was for a business, it might have some merit and make a modicum of sense. However, pouring one’s personal details, life’s woes and sorrows out into cyber space seemed to me to be pointless and arrogant. A bit like logging onto Facebook and reading what your long lost cousin or indeed some stranger had for breakfast.

As someone who has always had an interest in writing, though not even thinking my musings were of any value to anyone else, I began to think if I became a blogger even if it went unread I might get a sense of accomplishment or is it just the same arrogance shown by others looking for their fifteen minutes of fame.

Who knows and who will care, so here I am embarking on my blogging journey for as long as it lasts, better late than never I suppose. 

Places

I haven't been everywhere man!  Probably never will, though I've seen many places, dry, dusty deserts, raging rivers,  icy mountains, things so beautiful you can't help but cry. I wake up each day look about at what surrounds me and wonder  do I really need to see those things again when I can be amazed at what abounds in our great brown land.
