Wirral Poet Barry Woods has launched his latest punk-inspired collection at an event inside Liverpool's Wall of Fame bar, once home to the old Probe Records shop, a place where punk was sold over the counter by the likes of Pete Burns and Julian Cope.

Where Did All The Punks Go? is a collection of previously published and new works using punk, social issues, and 1980s Birkenhead as a backd...

After fighting, and ofcourse, winning,

a grave battle,

against the storm, within me,

I will, finally, sit back, and think.

Gazing at the night sky,

when I will embrace the light of moon,

I will not look back, in time, and regret,

but will surely rejoice, for the present, I am,

And if somehow I realise,

that yes, I am me,

That will be the moment,

when I will be,

He never reached retirement;

He beavered away till the last,

And from his modest office desk

He receded into the past.

Nobody threw a party

Or presented him with a watch;

He ploughed on as hard as ever,

Till health took him downwards a notch.

At home he composed his poems

In an atmosphere most discreet,

Though colleagues knew of his exploits

And some wors...

You’re writing in your notebook again

I lean over your shoulder, take a peek at what you’re scribbling

You’re painting a picture of salty tears running down her face

As you watch the waves settle back into place

A shiver runs down my leg,

Surprised at how you’ve captured the scene

The teacher begins her lecture, but we’re both miles from here

Poetry is considered by many to be one of the most meaningful and expressive forms of art. It possesses the ability to evoke a wide range of emotions and responses from its audience, including reverie, melancholy, humor, and even anger.

By arousing such a variety of sensations, it is intimate yet universally relatable. 

This artistic discipline allows one to explore the aesthetic qualities...

Through the eyes of a stranger,
I walk the crowded streets,
My thoughts hidden behind
A façade of indifference.
Always writing under breath
Each step the rhythm of a song

I listen for the murmurs,
The stories left half-told,
And with borrowed breath,
I weave their words into verse,
A silent chronicler,
Of lives intertwined.

Beneath the surface of each face,
A universe of fe...

love conquers all, she’s claimed the last word.

he wouldn’t let us leave
without paying,
for our meal

had to-go

then bantered with them
and, you ordered to make him take it back

the whole ordeal was a real headache,
I could feel tension in the temple,
and had to meditate, to
clear my head and relieve the stress

I wanted to post a pic of my meal,
but it was almost traumatic

Maybe, I’m just being over dramatic?

do you trust that man with your life?
willing to take a bullet for them?
