“To put down a story-line credibly, lyrically, with rhyme and rhythmic beat, using assonance and alliterative technique, that’s the challenge, that’s what I like.”


Nature’s Oath

My spirit’s high!
In anticipation of your beauty
..of May fly
Your giddy lambs
And worker bee duty

I celebrate your re-birth
Your budding branches
And green shoots breaking sodden earth
Your natural oath
A promise kept
..of seeded growth
How deep you slept
“I, will arise again”, you said
Your Autumn vow taken
Spring’s whispered words
..”Winter Princess, awaken”

(written for my daughter Elle)


Midnight Caller

By the time you will have read this
I’ll have come, and gone
I will have touched you, upon
Your left shoulder
A gentle breeze of change
Marking this, your time and date of birth
And you, one year older
One day closer, to the bosom of my Earth
