> about my poetry
I was hassled by a colleague at work to write a poem for a compilation based
on 'time'. I resisted for a while. I am a painter not a writer and had never
had any desire to express myself in words rather than pictures. When he had
finally given up on me I very quietly, very secretly, scrawled "If I
had the time...".
My poems are about small, almost insignificant, passing moments in my life. Things that strike me during my everyday life - sitting alone in a cafe when the last thing you want to be is alone - trying to buy a skirt, (and failing) - things that most people do every day.
The following poems are not placed in any particular order - and were written over a number of years.
