Poetry

I'm fond of writing poetry, somestimes as a means of emotional release, sometimes just because its fun! I've put some of the better stuff on here, but I'm still not fantastically good! Still I hope you like it, and comments and critiques are always welcome.

My Poetry

Ghost in the Machine Thoughts on how it feels to communicate via the internet.

The Bairns Are Wise Indeed A poem in Northumbrian dialect.

Sanguis Vitae (Blood of Life) A rather odd poem, unlike the ones I normally write. Its from the point of view of a vampire.

My Favourite Poems

I've tried to only put down poems which are out of copyright, if I'm wrong, let me know! (Assuming you can prove it, of course).

Poems by Byron My favourite poet.

Poems by Yeats Probably my second favourite!

Poems by Lionel Johnson Two poems by him, I know nothing about him, but I liked these.

Music, in a Foreign Language one poem by Andrew Crumey. This one almost certainly breaks copyright, as the author is still alive and its only been a few years since he published his novel with this in it, but I wanted more people to see it, and to encourage you to buy his book, Music, In a Foreign Language
