Introducing the blog:-

Hello Out There,


What I intend to do here is create a catalogue of my poetry by instalments. I shall post a single poem on a weekly basis along with a short passage of prose which will add context and perhaps a little backstory where appropriate (there won't, however, be any explanation of the poems which will hopefully be able to stand for themselves). Where possible, I will also include photographs - largely ones I've taken myself.

The poems will not appear in a chronological order although I might - if I remember - pay some attention to topicality, anniversaries and seasons atc. The first one, for instance, will be 'Spring Sonnet'.

It would be nice to acquire a readership via this blog and I hope people will find it an enjoyable experience and feel free to respond. I'm aware that there is an element of vanity in this project but if I were a songwriter I would want people to hear my songs and if I were a painter I would want people to see my pictures. So, if this blog seems like something of an ego trip, then so be it.

Here we go, then...
