I work as a freelance copywriter and communications consultant based in Bristol, England. I have been writing poetry since my teenaged years - inspired by a range of poets from Larkin to Heaney and Yeats to Hopkins (one can only dream oneself!) . You can find me on Twitter @mhamilton1509
Men of steel, men of tungsten,
wing their arrers at the quivering board!
Arena rumbles like disco,
...
The cold grey light of morning
is creeping at the window;
you turn to me in your sleep,
burrowing over,
...
I wish there was a God
who would strike me down,
hold my nose to the dust
and give me orders
...
Unable to sleep, I slip out for a fag
at 3.30am
and am amazed by the moon,
hanging like a burnished half-shield
...
This coffee is like a miracle:
oil-slick black,
thick as night,
a transmutation of water
...
