Biography

Formerly singer/songwriter with The Notleys and Tooth and Nail, recently returned to performing at open mic poetry events. First time on stage for over fifteen years was just last week... so still very much finding my feet.

Requiem for a Daisy

With callous hand I hath thee smote
And left thee thus to rot
Hath plucked away thine petticoat to find
She loves me not


17 Straight A's

One Summer's morn on our front lawn
A fawn was born. We named him Shaun
We had asked for a unicorn
But our request was met with scorn
Still, not for long were we forlorn
As from a rose a thorn was torn
And placed upon the head of Shaun
"Behold!" we cried, "our uni-fawn!"

Oh, short-lived joy, accursed false dawn
As if from nowhere men of brawn
Came telling tales of Devil's spawn
And grabbing Shaun held fast his horn
And laughed as it was roughly sawn
So fragments of it now adorn
The borders of our uncut lawn

Disarmed and helpless little Shaun
Exsanguinated... how we mourn
