Biography

I look forward to reading other contributions and adding some of my own dabblings in due course.

Samples

This Crested King: Atop the coop this crested king Painted coat and clip-ped wing Awakened by his morning call His hen harem, a fowl thrall Breast out-thrust, majestic stance Feathered beau, strutting dance What elegance he doth exude To entrance his aim, this exalted dude.

Hello there - apropos your comment about my own regarding UK
intelligence & diplomatic services. I and members of my immediate
family are in the higher vulnerability category and it seems totally
legitimate to be curious about how a government served by the
two most experienced and well informed services in history should,
even now, still be playing catch-up in its dealings with this disease.
Add to that the long historical connection between this country and
the alleged source of infection and it looks like the Sunday Times
article now causing waves and a fierce rebuttal from, No 10 has
similar questions.

Thanks Starfish
This site needs a bit more humour to offset the prevalence of soul baring

Thanks for dropping in once again Starfish. I have to say I'm detecting a little tongue in cheek element regarding the pip. It took some dedication to grow you know! :-))

Hi Starfish
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on 'Complicit'.
It was a long long time ago, but I'm pretty sure it was only £10.
I think I chose SA as it was the easiest place to emigrate to, and to get back from.
Sad eh?

Hi Starfish Thanks for the kind comments on Annus MIrabilis. Glad you spoted the Larkin connection. I did it on purpose. Both poems are about 1963 and start of with a Beatles reference and 'problems' with girls. Paul Farley has also done a gone one about that year, but he focuses on the death of Sylvia PLath. If you want o try to find it, it's called 1th February, 1963 and is a collection Called THe Ice Age.
