...If I said I wrote poetry for a reason I’d have to defend my reasoning every day. So I don’t. I write for fun – and if it isn’t fun it’s better than being bored or feeling useless. I admit to feeling bored and useless occasionally.
But there is more to Poetry than one man’s opinion of it.

There are many views – no less especially here. Most, sadly, are neither original nor particularly new because that is what we’ve come to expect as an unforgiving characteristic of this Site.

Breathe Again
keeping a day ahead when
space occupied by those
preceding still reeks of
waste is deemed vagrancy
and planning non-events

demand exists in any case
living in expectancy of a
life-changing phone-call
doesn’t bring order to the
chaos surrounding you, so
unleash suspense, be an
angel freed of tyranny
leave the mess, hide the
phone, breathe again

If yes, then a huge thank you! It's an honour to have my poems read by you! Ur amazing!
Easily one of the finest poets on this site, Ivan has taught me many things about structure, design and flow. I'm always extremely impressed when I read his work, and recommend his poetry as ESENTIAL reading to anyone who appreciates true talent.

I have only just discovered Ivan's poetry and I love it.
Tara got here first and I have to agree with everything she has to say. This guy is a Poem Hunter stalwart of the first order. Clear thinking and highly intelligent, teasing, funny, provocative, honest, compassionate and passionate where it counts, and a damned fine poet to boot! ! The only problem is that the stuff just pours out of him and it's murder trying to keep up! jim
An absolute rarity among poets - a gem. Expressive, erudite, emotive (often with a quasi-objective slant) . Ivan should be compulsory reading. Well... he is, for some of us! t x
