I write poetry for adults and children, and am determined to get something published in the not-too-distant future.

Background
Information
|
|
I came quite late to writing, being preoccupied with family and work until I was in my late 50s. I enjoy writing in traditional "forms" and prefer to read poetry that is accessible , hence my interest in writing for children. My two favourite books of poetry are my well thumbed and annotated copy of "The Puffin Book of Modern Children's Verse" and the slightly less well thumbed "Off Road to Everywhere" by Philip Gross.
