Door
The door stands:
nothing but space surround,
and enticement to enter

and invitation
to experience
the unknown,
unseen, untasted:

it is only fear
who whispers its denial.

Autobiographical  Sketch
I was born in London, 25/12/1959, brought up there in a council estate, eldest of five, I have been married twice. and now live on the lovely Isle of Wight.

I have been a poet for most of  my life, but it has only been in the past six years that it has been in the public domain--local radio, TV, cafe table poetry, on the local buses and looking to hopefully  publish. I am part of a group, called the Green room poets, and they have also been involved in the aforementioned activities-
-including   performing pieces, based on their (and my) poetry with my encouragement and the involvement of the local creative arts group Healing Arts, not bad for a group of people who experience mental health problems (not disabilities/handicaps/difficulties/challenges... or whatever other labels/groups we are usually lumped into!!).

However, we want to include all who  have a desire to express themselves through the creative arts, at whatever level they find themselves at. We/I have an identity, and strive to accept other peoples.
