Why am I here? Why show you my poetry?
These are not great poems, they don’t win prizes. But – they are my Poems.
And that’s the point.
I am an average ‘Joe’ and I’ve had an average English life enjoying the usual things and had my share of misfortunes.
In times of stress I have been helped a great deal by writing all my feelings down. When happy or elated the words flow and the pleasure is enhanced.
I have chosen to use verse in my literary ramblings because I find it easy. You may like to use prose or just ordinary sentences. No matter.
You need not show anyone unless you wish to. You can lock the bad times away in a box or put your wit on show via the web.
Whatever you want. Whenever you want. You choose!
So – if you are sad, happy, frustrated, angry, in love, out of love, ill, frightened, politically cynical, depressed, alone, suicidal, separated from your children, doubting God’s existence, wondering how to spend your lottery win, exasperated by the unelected clowns in Strasburg, just become a parent, the cats died etc. etc. etc…… (add as required) ….. then WRITE IT OUT – WRITE IT DOWN.
