Biography

I dabble in poetry and fiction writing

Samples

On Writing Poetry Metre's a doddle. I've no problem with rhyme. I can knock out a couplet in next to no time. Scansion and stress don't ruffle my brow as I ponder arrangements of consonants and vowels. But it's never much good at the end of the day. I can't avoid cliches. I've nothing to say. The mot juste eludes me. I'm giving up hope of ever becoming the next Wendy Cope. Chinese Umbrellas Discarded umbrellas lie strewn in the gutter, their skeletons broken, unable to suffer the gusts and the buffets of Lancashire weather. You'd think, back in China, they'd have tested them better.
