Author Description

I began writing poetry in 1994 during a holiday at a place near Swindon called Lower Shaw Farm. It was it must be said, no longer a farm, although there were a few odd animals wandering about. It provided live-in accommodation, and courses in various topics, including yoga, dance, aura reading (I don't think I have an aura) etc etc and vegetarian food.At the time, I was trying to convince a certain young lady, that I could be an essential part of her life -- so, when she decided to do the poetry class, I decided to do it as well.Although I didn't get anywhere with this particular young lady, it did mark the start of my poetry writing.To be totally accurate, I had written one poem previously, which may be found in my book: 'Twice Upon A Time' - but I don't talk about that much.
