Poems Wot I Writ. A mixed bag.

This will be a selection of my work put together over a number of years. Some of my verses make social comment, some are humerous, some for children, some for adults. A number of them are from deep in the South Coast Countryside. Take your pick.

Comments

You may have seen some of these poems before. I posted a few on this site in 2002 and if it's permissible I would like to include some with this collection. One or two were referred to recently on Google. If you are revisiting them, I hope you still find them enjoyable. ruminator.
