For changes in human behaviour
I think that the biggest by far,
is the obsession and pride that we all have
in the wonderful motor car.
...
Sticky toffee apples, ‘Kiss me quick’,
tame donkey’s on the beach,
sand in hair, the seaweeds song,
and parsons try to preach.
...
As sunlight filters through the emerald canopy,
the morning dew on the forest floor sparkles like a diamond mosaic,
The soft lament of bird song gently caresses the all but silent dawn,
and a damp and heavy mist clings to the forest,
...
She’s there with you always,
through thick and through thin.
She’s there with you always,
as you lose and you win.
...
As time goes by, I’ve missed so much,
your loving hugs and gentle touch.
As your bodies grow too fast to see,
I hope you’ll both remember me.

We managed to get rid of the Nazi’s,
and to tear down the communist wall.
So what of the police state that’s Britain,
how far must her subjects now fall? .
...
The state of mind that is happiness and joy,
is a healthy breeding ground,
for it lifts our spirits on wings of hope,
and keeps us safe and sound.

Sometimes when I write poetry I get the feeling that my pen is a scalpel,
and that I am ‘sculpturing’ words that appear inside my mind.
Usually to begin with I work heavily with a ‘cold chisel’, and then as the words begin to appear in my head, I use more ornate and delicate tools to do the fine processing.
Finishing off with some light sand papering to buff off the rough edges.
...
Sometimes I pray so hard at Christmas,
that the world will look again,
at the reasons why we have to take,
sweet Jesus name in vain.
...
Our love has the power
to destroy and create.
Our love has the power
to heal and to hate.
