My poems are inspired by many things; people, places, experiences. I see poetry as a way to express those feelings that it is hard to express vocally. It has always been my favoured medium for self expression! I hope you will find some inspiration here. Note: Whilst the form poems are all in the second section, the "passions and desires" section includes both free verse and form poems. Some of them are a little..."warm"... so I would recommend leaving them to the over 18s, please.

Note to any regular visitors to the site...formerly, the poems were listed here chronologically,
with the oldest at the top. In order to make it easier to read the later ones, I am now posting them
at the top of each page...and one day, I may even get around to reorganising them properly! Like to sign the guestbook? Sign Guestbook View Guestbook Look here for my archived guestbook entries... Archived Guestbook
