This is a personal collection of 64 of my favourite poems from the 200+ composed between 1982 to 2023. I was born in 1963 so that should be an indicator of the time frames involved. Some of the poems have been published in magazines and reviews over the last 40 years, some performed in the oral tradition in live performances and some put to music and adapted as songs. There are also a handful of newer poems. Each poem is tagged with the year it was composed and there's also a detailed explanatory 'Introduction'. Be warned - I like poems that rhyme and are relevant to my life. All the works are copyrighted so please respect my rights. Cover photo is myself at North Road Railway Museum in Darlington - birthplace of the railways.
