I started writing two years ago and have had all my poems published and now write professionally. I love all animals and am a vegetarian. I've four brothers and one sister. My parents are Dennis and Mary. I spend a lot of time raising money for charities. My personal charity is Help The Community. I'm a keen sportsman and write mainly at night. My wife is Debbie and I've a step-daughter named Lauren and two sons, namely Daniel and James. My business is called Pet Poetry and I am a Business Development Consultant. My philosophy is: "All questions are easy if you know the answer."

Rosie The Lion Heart

Her eyes shining, a gaze of soulful glee
Tail wagging expressing her plaintiff plea.
Her desire shows in looks so keen
It's the outdoors she yearns to fields of green,
With saintly patience heartiness abounds,
With trusting kindness she's out in the grounds.

In lush acres where mushrooms grow
Silently she's there with her friend in tow
Her tail erect and gently swaying,
Quietly scenting and calmly playing,
Aware that you're there in this tranquil scene
Her thoughtful nature is clearly seen.

Around the children she's soft, soppy and kind
With an aura of openness, a true friend you'll find
Shadowing her escort and unhurriedly returning,
Such a mild manner and yet so concerning.
Sweetness is she having a faithful bond,
Giving such hope makes you truly fond.

Duke The Irresistible Charmer

With lead in hand and dawn breaking
His eyes aglow, enthusiasm aching
With alacrity and vigour, he bounds to the fore
Impatiently hurrying, he exits the door.

Outdoors his venture, catering his whim
His tail wagging with oscillating vim.
In nature's garden blissfulness high,
Senses detecting flight of butterfly.

Traipsing paths and in pleasure larking
Goes under trees for territory marking,
With courteous poise befriending strangers
Heartfelt warmth to highway rangers.

With expectant glee, makes the home turn
Favouring the morsels that begets his burn.
With prandial contentment, excitement calmed,
With loving reverence his escort's charmed.

Innocently playing he pussyfoots his toys
With pleasure and delight he simply enjoys.
Doting on children with affectionate gaze
Capturing hearts as he joyously plays.

Legs in the air in laid-back fashion,
Delight expressed, a relaxing passion.
Daylight fading, resting chin on paws
Curled for sleeping following nature's laws.
