When did you start writing?
I started writing in my younger days. I started writing
songs to begin with and trying to play the guitar, but I wasn't very good at playing
the guitar and I think most people realised that I was never going to be a rock star
long before I did. I put the guitar to one side but the songs carried on and the
songs turned into poems and I just carried on from there really.
Why do you write poetry?
I love the colour of words, writing takes you into a new
world, not all my poems are personal, some are and some are not.
Where do your ideas come from?
Ideas really come from anywhere and everywhere…

The Snowman
The Custard Heart, In Memory of Dorothy Parker
The Man With A Bird In His Beard

Music is a joy, I love my acoustic guitar as it has more feel than my electric one.
I love history, castles and cathedrals., holidays and to see new lands, when I am able too…
