Poetry is about expression, art, drama and verse. It is all of the things and still more. Poetry captures the moment, enabling one to put down into words that which is seen, felt, experienced or imagined. More than a photograph or painting can, it enables one to express in words, the inner-most perceptions and feelings of the unconsciousness mind. In reading those words, one can recreate a sense of it in ones own mind. And in doing so, poetry can take you to places, stirring and firing the imagination.

On these pages you will find some of my favourite poems as well as a few attempts of my own. I particularly like poems of the 18th and 19th century especially dark poems of melancholy.
