18th Birthday Present
Poem written
I’m past trying to remember where
In Petticoat Lane I found you
I wonder if people go there still
To buy leather jackets as we did
When it was a rite of passage
Like buying your first pair of DMs
Back then I rode pillion
And needed protective clothing
Not just for posing at gigs in
Although I painted your back With arcane symbols
So cool and mysterious in 1988
And forgot about that fact
Even when I wore you recently
After breaking my wrist and required
Something waterproof that would fit
Over the green cast on my right arm
For a mystical tour of South London
Where the forgotten chaosphere
Was noted and commented upon

2019 Published work
Back in January I was honoured to be invited by Poets for the Planet to run two workshops at their launch event at the Society Of Authors in London.
KNITBONE AT IMBOLC
The cast is off
This snake has shed its skin
And won’t be charmed back in
If a plaster cast could be a metaphor
For the past, I will remember
How rigidly it bound me
I cast a spell banishing
Then
Casting on, knitting
Now
Blasting off

Psithurism
whispering
washing whooshing
whistling flustering flistering
a shaking leaf sea
surrounds us in sound waves
wishing whispering
washing whooshing
rustling whistling flustering flistering
a shaking leaf sea
surrounds us in sound waves
breaking shore shingle
branches breeze-dancing
breaking shore shingle
branches breeze
dancing
