Something More poetry booklet


I compliled the Something More poetry booklet in 2012. I remember 2012 as being a good year, my dad was still alive and we travelled to Edinburgh and Cornwall with him. My parents celebrated their 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. London was in celebratory mood with the Olympics. The voluntary olympic embassadors were fantastic and there was a lot of comforting pink and purple everywhere. The years before 2012 were quite difficult and after it were deaths and losses. Something More is full of light verse written by me and light, childish pictures drawn by Amy, which were also on their way out in 2012.

Only Us


I have written many romantic poems over the years, some about having trouble getting started on relationships like 'Valentine's Day' or 'The Valliant Knight'. Some poems are about trouble at the end of relationships like 'Human Remains' or 'Anything but love'. Different aspects of romantic love can be found on my 'Anatomy of love' seven poem cycle, available on WattPad. 'Only Us' is about the time in a love affair when coupledom is all important. I feel it is a brief poem for a brief moment.
