Poetry
A note on poetry
When writing poetry, I draw on my own personal experiences as well as those of others. I also give myself licence to embelish certain details for effect – this is poetry after all, not an autobiography. And sometimes I write in the first person even when the details of the poem are unrelated to my own story.
Full butterfly
Child's play
Free-range children
First hurdle
We do not argue anymores
Vive la résistance!
If you but knew my love
Just dance
You are not marble
You cannot
The measure of a man
My excuse
Double take
April is showerful
We are all beginners
No dad should drink alone
Salute
The gift
A silly running belt
Old, dusty guitars
