Said The Poet To the Bard

My often surreal, entangling, surprising, cosmically tail stinging work.
Poems are bulging, short stories creaking and all of them screaming to get out.
So, later this year, a collection is coming, for anyone caring to look.
It's called Funked World, and the title prose, talks of a strange kind of place.
Not perhaps, a place that you see, but one that's frequented, often by me. Yes, in a book, with videos too. 
And perhaps some vocal hullabaloo.


Funked World

Sound quality needs tweaking but here, on National poetry day is my tribute to what made me the person I am today.
I remember being told in my Royal Air Force trade training that I would not truly appreciate what I had until many years from then. Many of you, like me will quite possibly hear yourself telling something very similar to your own kids these days. I often remember  being told that, and the person who told me. Looking back, I think I realised what I was leaving behind, when I came to leave the Royal Air Force. That was over 10 years ago. I don’t regret leaving, it was the right thing for me. But I look back with a fondness and nothing else at the life, which now seems so long ago. Many people still ask me today about what I did before I worked in IT. And this weekend I’m going to meet some old RAF friends, who, I’m certain will ask what I’ve been doing since I left the RAF.

Today, on National Poets Day, I dedicate this, not only to all those I served with, but to anyone who has or is currently serving in the Armed Forces. Although much has changed over the years, some things have remained the same. I’m still a poet! Hope you enjoy.

Much Love

Ever heard the line that the teacher will always make themselves known when the student is ready? This is a about acknowledging a moment or a lesson that you've been taught. Possibly one you missed at the time, overclouded by something you thought more important at the time. It's also about being grateful for it and everything else important in your life, which, we can too often forget.
