A badger chasing a cat - lucky you! The only ones I have seen have alas been at the side of the road.

Thanks for the comments about "The Menin Gate
- 11/11/2013". The poem has been sent to the
Regimental Adjutant at Wellington Barracks
for consideration for use during 2014.
My father survived WW1 (Western and Italian
Fronts) as a young subaltern with the Duke
of Cornwall's Light Infantry (1st Btn.)
A maternal uncle was killed in action during
the battle for Delville Wood in 1916.
I doubt if there are many British families of
a certain generational ancestry who are not
connected with that terrible conflict.

Hi Chris, remarkable that you found my poem The Reluctant Volunteer, nearly four years after I first posted it! You're quite right, there is a lot more to the story. I've written other poems about it, and maybe there are still more to come. My father ended up working up on the "death railway" in Thailand as a POW. There's a new film, The Railway Man, just come out, that I hope will paint a more realistic picture of it than The Bridge on the River Kwai! Greg

Thanks for taking the trouble to comment on "The Racism One-Step". It was written in response to the idea that racism is a one-way street with one lot always the victim and one lot always the guilty party. I must mention of the penultimate verse in your poem Place De L'Eglise. It was beautifully done and would, imho, have been ideally suited to close your poem.
And now...I will leave you in silence....

HIYA, 'Underground' this was based on a chance browse at Waterstones. If I remember next time I go in, I will make a note of the actual title & get back to you.

Thanks for commenting.

I'll give it a go. Petersfield isn't too far from Farnham. Pop Up Poetry is the night in Guildford: https://www.facebook.com/PopUpPoets

Hi Chris, thanks for the kind words.

I've not really thought about putting it to music, despite being in various bands over the years. It's a good idea though.

Do you perform much in Guildford?
