UPDATED BIOGRAPHY - May 2023

-----------------------------------------------------

I started writing poems in 2011 and find it an excellent hobby. I joined this site in 2015.

Where I live is in France, but I am English. I enjoy noticing the contrasts between the two countries in terms of sociology. There are quite a few - subtle ones for the most part.

I have (by March, 2023) set up over 100 Poetry Contests for you all.

***

My poetic philosophy are these -

Understatement in poetry gives the readers more to think about than overstatement.

Tell, rather than show. It's far more intellectual.

Julia Ward Poems

Self-indulgence

Blog Posted by Julia Ward: 8/22/2016 2:41:00 AM

While you're all sending in your favs. from August 2015, here is mine sent in exactly a year ago on 8/22/2016.

IN NAPLES

IN Naples, even the median axis has his poem,

and the road goes in a straight line up the centre...

The sky awaits to meet it in the distance.

In Naples, you will search the median axis,

and when you have found it, you will laugh out loud

for the sky will greet the road.

For too long they have been separated

but the sky has always been attracted -

fascinated by the axis on your own sweet road.
