A podcast of my interview on Croydon Radio is now available
As many of you will know, I was interviewed by Tom Cannon of Croydon Radio, on Saturday 26 November, about my latest collection of poetry, Refractions.
A podcast of that interview is now available and can be located HERE
Death of the Blog
Unlike Monty Python’s Parrot, the blog is far from being deceased (a point well made by Janice in this post, http://www.mostlyblogging.com/death-of-the-blog/).
On Patrol
On patrol.
She is in control,
Her whole
Being bent
On making him content.
His pent
Up frustration
Is expressed in dissipation.
He has long since lost control
And is losing his soul.
She stays for a while
Then leaves with a smile
And a wave.
The position is grave
And no one is saved.
On patrol again
She wonders when
Or if the men
Will ever see
The real she
Hidden behind the make-up.
Girl and man need a wake-up
Call,
But it is easier to fall
Than to arise
And reach for the skies.

Listening to the Radio
A young woman, on the radio, sings of crushes
And how love comes and goes.
Heaven knows
She spares no blushes
Regaling me with her affairs.
A song light as air
That passes over where
The party goers play.
Today
It is the tune of this nubile
Girl
To which the dancers twirl.
There may be a denial
That this constitutes art.
I, for my part
Find in her voice, a pleasant enough warble
Over which to dordle
As I bathe and shave
Kevin Live On Croydon Radio at 5:15 pm Today
Just a quick reminder that I will be on Croydon Radio at 5:15 this evening to talk about my poetry. To listen at 5:15 please go to http://croydonradio.com/. My interview will subsequently be available as a podcast.

Poems for Winter
The official start of winter is 1 December. However, given the extremely cold bouts we have been experiencing here in the UK, coupled with winter’s impending onset, I wanted to share with you a number of my poems with a wintry theme:

My bookshelves
I thought it would be interesting to share a view of the bookcase in my bedroom. The books in question are all in braille. I have four book cases in total; the one in the bedroom, another in my living room and two in my study/spare room.

A Place to Relax
As a writer, I try to keep one room in my flat free of technology (so far as that is possible in today’s increasingly connected world). The majority of my writing occurs in my spare room which, when guests come to stay reverts to it’s original purpose as a place where the weary may lay their sleeping heads. The room contains 2 large bookcases, a desk, bed and a wardrobe. On my desk sits a laptop.
I rarely move the laptop into either the master bedroom or the living room as I believe it is imp...
Autumn Leaves
Cold autumn.
Leaves scent
Tease
And please
Senses dulled
By too much brain smoke.
