Wenlock's Poetry Page.
Hi, welcome to my Poetry page. Recently I typed yet another poem into my PC, saved it then wondered if it would be a good idea to put my creations on the Internet. After much thought I decided to do it anyway.. For now I haven't categorized the 65 of them, though you probably could come up with a few categories. So, browse the list, then click on the title to view..
