I was born and live in a small Norfolk Coastal village. I took up writing poetry for pleasure upon taking early retirement in 1993, having been a secretary for many of my working years. I have had over 3 dozen poems published since, in various poetry books. Another hobby of mind is amateur photography; recently 14 of my photos were selected for a photographer of the year competition, 10 being accepted in the previous year also. Both hobbies I can enjoy any time, anywhere !

The Next Millennium

With comets zooming through the air
And planets fast appearing
The next Millennium will bring
A new world - oh so daring !

A 1000 golden years of hope
Of reaching worlds afar,
When earth-men and the aliens
Will meet beneath the stars.

When all the Cosmos bright will shine
And all beings are united,
Fulfilling destinies of time.
Dreams - no longer unrequited.

For men are seeking all the time
A Utopia for the ' morrow,
When fantasy becomes a fact
And gone is pain and sorrow.

Searching in the Universe
For answers to all life,
Where war and fighting is forgot
And gone is all the strife.

A world of beings, all as one
Joined together all in peace
And conflicts of our lesser selves
Forever more will cease.

A new era of unbroken joy
With blue skies all the way
Where Heaven on earth is in our sights,
The next Millennium's first new day!

Luciano Pavarotti

Fabulous Pav. the man of our dreams,
With a voice of pure heaven,
Or so it does seem.
Who woos us and thrills us with notes so sublime
We're lost in his world and transported by time
To glories and visions of all things divine.

With his smile so beguiling - a kiss to the crowd,
This wondrous Pav'rotti does charm us aloud.
His voice is so beautiful, silken and soft,
Bewitching, caressing and soaring aloft
To heavens above and stars of the night
Enchanting the crowd with utter delight.

Charisma abounding, a twinkle of mirth,
Impish and roguish, not lacking in girth,
Luciano endows us with Heaven on earth.
Such singing, such stature,
With joy we are blessed.
Fabulous Pav. - you're the greatest, the best.
