Biography

Cheers for taking time to look at my pages, I have been writing for while. I am from Manchester and I'm aware that some of my stuff has a bit of a regional bias or references, sorry about that, but hey ho! Much of it is thoughts that have been with me for years and haven't found an outlet. Favorite poets include T.S. Eliot, D.H. Laurence and the lord God himself Dr John Cooper Clarke (praise his name). I'm really welcoming of comments positive or otherwise, thanks again for taking time to read.

Samples

Extract from- Do you remember Heart and Soul? =================================================== Heart and soul, You didn’t have to sell it, or give it away, It was there for everyone to see, And the band just left you wanting more. We cried and laughed, As it seeped into every pore, And became embedded in the skin, Creeping through the system and Beyond the conscious, It shaped everything we said and did. Some nights we used to just hang like this and talk, Or walk from town past midnight to the rhythm of a dragged drum With the buzz of the earthy hum left in our ears. I thought these times were gone.

Hi Daz, thanks for your comment and message. Please never under estimate your poetry. I have just read Hey Hipster and it is really good. You are right about conformity as it is nothing more than a form of conditioning which robs people of their very inner being. Keep writing mate. I love it. Keith

Hello Daz, I am a relative newcomer to WOL and recently came across your profile, the poems of which I have enjoyed, especially Late Meetings, Today we painted a door, Finding Myself and Performance. I like your style and wit. I look forward to reading more. Thanks. Keith

Daz, I am so honoured that you went home that very night and took the time to research 'Star Songs' on WOL. On Friday, when I found your comment, my heart skipped a beat as the email threw me back six years. I know I had tears in my eyes. Thanks again for a wonderful surprise. And encouragement to keep writing.

Daz.. thank you very much for your very kind appraisal on 'Truncheon for Luncheon'. Your own account relating to this part of our social history is superb.
Met and sat with you at 'Guitar and Verse' in Tyldesley with Jeffarama last year. (Ian Whiteley and Paper Town gig). Keep on writing Dazzer and I look forward see and hear you and your stuff again. (Like your audio stuff as well). DD

Thank you for your lovely comment Daz. The night was great and my nerves were frazzled by the end but being in good supportive company certainly helps.

Thanks Darren for you lovely comments on my poem 'The Man Next Door'. I never thought I would live to know someone who is truly homeless as I would like to think my door is open to any of my friends or family if they are in need. I have learnt though, that some people can feel so worthless it leaves them unable to grasp a helping hand, even when it's thrust right under their nose. There are too many holes within society's safety nets for these people to fall through.

Daz, the technical chaps are snowed under with important systems stuff but tell me that if you can sign in using your old email + password ( there is a way of getting a reminder of your password if forgotten) you can then delete your old profile yourself. Give it a go.
