I was born in Batley Yorkshire 1946, and I have two grown children, Mary and Paul. I also have five lovely grandchildren, Sammuel, Leanne, Joshua, Lewis and Toni. I like watching TV, walking, light gardening and poetry. I have been married for 31 years but I am now separated. I got my poem in "From a Laugh to a Tear" and I also won an Editors Choice Award in 1996 from The International Society of Poets. I have written thirty-two poems so far, and I hope to have my own book one day. My poems come from the heart, they express the way I feel and my dreams. |
Lost LoveIn the house upon a hilla big grey cloud is hanging still The old man sits there all alone gloomy face, big sad eyes Really sad he's lost his wife Thinking of the things he's done all the time in his life In his chair he gently sways going back to happy days But time goes by, that we know To pick up pieces is so slow Fond memories of loved ones deep in our hearts they always stay in dreams they are never far away Many happy hours spent together now he's on his own forever |
Grandad and GrandmaMy grandad was a funny onewho went back to his youth. Now this is a true story and every word the truth. Grandad wore a big flat cap to cover up his head. And if you hit my brother he'd send you up to bed. But grandma she was small and sweet we often went to tea, Nestles milk upon our bread our very special treat. Alas my grandma left us and my grandad too. Now all I have is sweet memories of two dear folks I knew. |
