Yup, poems. You read that right.<\/h3>\n

I\u2019ve always written poetry, ask Clarkie if you don\u2019t believe me. So I thought; \u201cWhy not inflict them on anyone stupid enough to click on\u00a0a link?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t consider them great, but I do enjoy writing this sort of stuff. You may notice that they change too, I\u2019m forever rewriting them, altering words lines, taking bits out, sticking new bits in. In the main they are about places, mainly nostalgic, and sometimes sad. I\u2019m like that me. Like my alleged \u201cmusic\u201d, I\u2019ll be adding them as and when.<\/p>\n

Feedback is welcomed, insults expected, piss taking tolerated with resigned ennui.<\/p>\n

Catherine and I were just reading your poetry. She\u00a0feels the Celt connection very strongly\u00a0even though I carefully explained to her\u00a0what a moody miserable bugger you really are. I think the best one is \u201cIn The Lee\u201d \u2013 a multi-layered gem. But my favourite is \u201cDays End\u201d; you really nailed it. Any climber would relate to that one; touch of \u201cBlue Remembered Hills\u201d in there but much more personal and much\u00a0less pretentious. Catherine thinks they are very sad \u2013 they make me want to start smoking again. Well done for leaving a scratch on posterity\u2019s stone-blank face.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n

Your stuff<\/em> (poetry) is much more original and much more connected to the human species and much stronger as a result \u2013 mine is after the event, yours is in it. Catherine thinks your poetry is much better\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
