These are random drafts. I consider all my writing in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts. N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

Left of 2018. It would be so easy to just purge it all. To go. To leave. Without goodbyes. But I choose to …

Title: Theatre of Mischief

Release Date: 2024-06-06

Summary:

... but how to compare a howl
with the silence of embers;
the chains of time
with the lofty ideas of a child
petulant and needy ...

While no Artificial Intelligence has aided the creation of this poetry collection, there is alien influence. A boy of eleven, from far outside the universe, is currently influencing us all. They speak in riddles, of Jaysome and Hugs. Jay gave me this message to convey...

I am a balanced ghost who is a bee
I was ten circles once also you see
I am words collected like drops of rain
The long shadows do ‘jaysome’ exclaim
So if a poem confusles that not a bug
As every poem is secretly a hugey hug
And when you buy this book you'll see
The poems that are shores beyond sanity!

... give Jay a hug, and a thank you if you see them. They are one of a kind, the Shiny Happy People personified.

Title: Bumblebee: Poems for Dark Times

Release Date: 2023-04-01

Summary:

Bumblebee is a poetry collection for dark times. Poems to help deal with fear of being still, combatting the urge of constantly being on the move, and the consequences of being.

The Thought took flight long ago along an oral path that spanned a lifetime; but as Death came and Distortion followed the Thought morphed into another’s. Then the Thought caught the turning tide; through the ink splattered on papyrus and parchments the Thought found a final resting place at the hand of Man and the pen of the Mighty.

Bumblebee revives that ancient art of handwritten poetry that enabled not just the transfer of thought, like its oral predecessor, but also the highly individualistic expression of the poet with part clarity and part illegibility in the written. To futureproof the legibility each handwritten poem is accompanied by a state-of-the-art AI-generated* version presented in a standardised font.

Available now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, plus many other online book sellers around the world.

(*: well, no, not really from an AI, just the poet typing on a keyboard)

Title: Ghosts: Poems in Black and White

Release Date: 2020-08-12

Summary:

Ghosts frequently haunt the places we desire the most in our search for solitude: our memories. Our ghosts are personal, intimate, and often unreasonable foes of days long gone. Over time they become our sparring partners in the eternal ring of unyielding fires, refusing to heed our cries for mercy.

Ghosts is a collection of personal poetry painted in black and white. Poems dealing with past and present ghosts, and with the life and inevitable death of the poet they left behind.

Please be aware: the topics covered herein may be upsetting to some readers. There is explicit content: strong language, references to abuse and scenes of a sexual nature; plus frequent misuse of punctuation, grammar, and the English language.

Available now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, plus many other online book sellers around the world.
