I Wrote Her Name Upon The Sand
I walked along the shoreline
As the ocean looked so blue,
The seagulls called upon the wind

i like what u write
I love 'The Water Wheel' and am intending to include it in my folder of work for my Grade 4 London College of Music Speech & Drama exam, which I'm planning to take in the Autumn term. I love your work! It's so descriptive and really paints a picture! I've got a few poems on here too.

To Andrew Blakemore and others whom it may concern,
Andrew is a 'poet's poet extraordinaire', highly polished in th' art of painting scenes
from his words, bringing out those vibrant colours enhancing and capturing th' senses
of th' love, life and beauty 'that surrounds us all' - He has without a doubt, turned out
through his unique talent and gift, 'poetry that are murals' from the gallery of his mind.
Best regards my friend!

Andrew Blakemore has the once in a lifetime talent of a writter with so many forms of imagery, his journey may take you to the hills to the ocean, or just to watch a snow flake fall, he can make you cry, feel sad, for feel so happy to be alive, his easy flow makes it such a pleasure for the reader to enjoy whatever beholds in the mind of the writter. His sensitivity shows true colour with every emoiton within his soul... There are many writters in this world as far back as time permits, with suspence, romance, humor and many more, THEN there is Andrew Blakemore.....
Andrew has a unique style, he draws the reader in with his wonderfully woven poetry on any subject, so vivid the reader could be there looking on, a fantastic modern day poet who is well worth taking a look at, you will not be disappointed.

Andrew is a 'natural' and his poems are a joy to find. He is a weaver of such excellence and one cannot be unmoved when reading his works. He has a wonderful way of explaining his subjects and brings his storylines to life in a very special way. I am always thrilled to read each poem he writes and the pleasure is all mine. If you want to find a fine poet, he is here.
