Being headstrong is a strength. I let my heart rule sometimes and it can cause me pain x you have to put the barriers up sometimes though and protect yourself personally I love romance I'm a bit of a sucker for it. X lol

Mark you've hit the nail firmly on the head. Take me for example - I don't read poetry and I don't understand all the technical side of poetry construction...yet I write absolutely brilliant stuff. I'm also an incredibly humble person.

Enjoyed the poem. The claims that Shakespeare is not the author of the plays stem in part from his lack of a university education. Tony

We are all witnesses to our own putrescence,
Products of nature's consumer obsolescence.
One of the reasons I'm content to live alone -
I need only bear witness to my own! ?

Thanks for the comment Keith. There is a deeper meaning to this which I've explained a bit on my profile page. But, as with most poems, different people see different things. That's why poems are fab ?

Tomorrow would have been the day, and good weather it would have been too. I have put it on the Marsden Facebook page where Kath Shackleton had mentioned missing the festival too: https://www.facebook.com/groups/marsdenvillage/permalink/10157369557416128/

It certainly has been another of our great successes over the years, average attendance around 60-80 folks rammed into the pub. Best quote ever: I don’t’ like poetry, but that was fantastic.

Last year was a weird one, using the marquee outside the music shop, with a delay to my arrival caused by Diane and others announcing the smell of gas outside my house. The 'gas board' - whatever they are now called - declaring the all-clear, subsequently discovering – three days later – there really was a serious leak, with 60 or so people not 40 yards away. That would have been the year it went with a bang.

Happy daze!

Enjoyed this, Simon. “Do not go gently” meets “To his coy mistress”. Not long before he died my sister asked my dad if he’d any regrets in his life. “I wish I’d made love to more women” he said. True wisdom.

Slimy eyeball rolls
sliding slippery floor
red blood river

glittering false eyelashes
snack before bedtime
always risks nightmares.

I'm recording a new album of music based on the poems I've posted here recently (and some from way back). The album is folk/rock and will be called 'Crowlore' and is a collection of religious/fantasy/horror/folk tales.
I'm adding the sound recordings to the poems on here as I record them - so if anyone is interested in having a listen the sound files are now added to (this latest poem is in a list of around 15 that I will be recording):

Apothecary
White Witch Of Winter
Messiah Of The Fields

which were all written as poems in late September /early October ?
I'm hoping to have the music album and an accompanying illustrated book available around Christmas time ?
The project is written under the 'group' name THE CROWS OF ALBION
