I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')

These poems are works in progress and may be updated without notice. Nevertheless copyright applies to all writings here and all photos (which are either my own or used with permission). Thank you for your comments. I read and appreciate them all, and reply here to specific points that seem to need it — or as I have the leisure. Otherwise I reciprocate by reading and commenting on your blog posts as much as possible.

Agenda


She barged in the shop door
straight at me, was aware
I was there, stopped short,
side-stepped, ploughed on

all without meeting my eye
or even my face, intent
beyond me. I was obstacle, 
thing, irritation in her way.

    Ink runs from the corners of my mouth
    There is no happiness like mine.
    I have been eating poetry.
