Announcement Concerning My Poetry

I have been giving some considerable thought as to how I can best promote my poetry and have come up with the novel and innovative idea of painting my poems on my chest and torso. This will, of course necessitate me walking around half dressed. However it will, I am sure prove to be an effective means of publicising my work.

My more serious verses will be painted on in dark colours, whilst my humorous poems will appear in brightly coloured paints complete with appropriate humorous drawings.

I can assure my readers that all paints will be eco friendly and will not, in any way harm me or the environment.

So watch out for me in and around London!

Anyone for Tea?

I know a young man named Lot
Who went and bought a chocolate teapot.
I all you good people warn
To avoid the sweet rose’s thorn!
And hot tea in Lot’s chocolate teapot!

A Yellow Dog

A yellow dog
In yellow sun.
You take delight
In spring sunlight.
Your time
Has come.

My brindle friend
Enjoyed the sun.
All things end.
The wind’s gust
Blows all dust
Under the sun.

(In the above poem, the reference to the yellow dog is to my current guide dog Apollo, whilst “my brindle friend” refers to my former guide dog Trigger, who died in September 2020).
