Silent Screams
Look at us, we’re all so cool,
We all smoke, don’t be a fool,

Love & Kindness
Close your eyes or look away,

And when I see a crocodile . . . .

When will the penny drop? Master’s Degrees from Murdoch University are common in Canberra

THE CLIMATE IS A-CHANGIN’
Bob Dylan’s music Alan’s words
Come gather round people wherever you roam
Cos slowly, but surely we’re killing our home
Let’s talk about Poems
Poetry gives a voice to the ineffable—the feelings, fears, and joys that we normally can’t describe.
I hope that my poems will be enjoyed by all those who take the time to read them. I have endeavoured to relate many of my thoughts, emotions & experiences in verse as accurately as I could, pulling no punches.
