Taunton Wildlife

I started writing poetry about 20 years ago now. I have no formal training in poetry writing, being a science university graduate, so what I write is just how it comes.

There is a feeling of natural history and environmental issues which runs through most of my poetry and, although I am a little influenced by WB Yeats and Ted Hughes, I am perhaps more influenced by music.

If you have taken some time to read some of my poems, I would be pleased if you could comment in my guest book - the link is at the top of this page. Or, you can contact me through the email address on my Contact me page.

Please do not use my poetry without my permission. Thank you.
