Inferiority Is Complex
She had a masters degree,
from Trinity Cambridge,

with overheard talk re. financial leverage.
Whilst I’d a diploma
from a,
“technical” college.
A photographic memory,
from heart she could recite,
the Shakespeare plays and
the...

Mae West's Room
Mae West's Room
Every hierarchy exists
dependent upon those below to support it.
Can it be any different with the gods,
when some are greater and some are less?
We all are gods and isn’t that the point
in Orwell’s book,...

So if you're feeling squeamish
Draw your curtains and lock the door
For today is the day in Yorkshire
When the naked ramblers go on tour.

One big boom reverberates,
we shelter 'neath the railway bridge,
the swirling wind ensures we get a soaking anyway.
The Croal is roaring well above the watermark,
the nature lover in me hopes the smaller...

Cities
The big debate : “What is a city ?” –
A town created by a charter
And often with cathedral church
But sometimes with an ancient abbey.
St David's, Pembroke is the smallest,
Just twelve hundred citizens
And London is by...

Simon Lawson
Simon used to take part in motocross,
Before his bike stalled once mid-air,
When he was training on his farm land,
Which left him paralysed waist down.
He was born in 1982 on the 7th June,
And having fought back...

King of All He Sees - A Royal Digression
1066
Sad day on Senlac Hill.
King Harald takes an arrow
Through his royal eye.
And that Norman bastard,

Though it’s embroidery,
Not tapestry, tells the tale,
He finds himself the king of all he sees.

and therefore can’t discern the...

It's ended before it's begun, it's already past.
Though you were never mine, you cause me so...
