Two small boys, a ferocious monster, a stroll in beautiful nature, a gold medal winning performance, a funny/sad story, a not-so-scary monster... hot chocolate and jam sandwiches too!

An amorous young Englishman's romantic misadventures on a dancefloor in Germany.

A late autumn break, a snippet from history, a poet’s house of inspiration, a sad period in time, a salacious rumour… cake too!

One final hurdle prevented the realisation of a dream

Music has an uncanny ability to transport us back in time.

Everyone should try to create a rap... senior citizens too!

Tread soft amongst the Irish, for they'll steal your heart away.

A poet struggles to find an elusive rhyme.

If you are offered sugar in an exotic location, make sure it’s not high-fructose.

A tribute to friendship, and a life well lived against the odds.

It’s good to know your companions will always have your back… regardless of how old they are.

Old men may be chatting about medication, past glories and bowel movements… or trying to remember where they went last night.

From Cardiff’s seafront to the peaks of Snowdonia, from Shirley Bassey to JPR Williams, this poem is about belonging, identity, and that Celtic spark that shines brighter than midnight stars.

We've all got stories, tales, yarns to tell... fiction, faction or non-fiction, but few of us have life stories that last for a hundred years.

A hapless young man's quest for love in limerick format (what else?) is thwarted again and again. Caution! No smut on display.

It’s sobering to think that while summer is celebrated in some parts of the world with music festivals, sporting tournaments, flower shows, fringe festivals, craft fairs, parties in the park, etc, people in other parts of the world are struggling to put nutritious food in their children’s bellies. And in yet other parts of the world, they are too busy firing missiles at each other. My poem, therefore, is sadly only about modern summer living in some parts of the world.

An old man's visit to the barber

COVID restrictions eased, so we made a dash for freedom.

A hapless man's quest for love through British accents.

Treasured memories of an April day in 2023.
