There was a young mann called Lee
There was a young man called Lee
Who owned a very large flea.
It bit a man most religious
Who was very litigious,
It was the strangest court case I ever did see!

“Refractions” to be made available in Braille
I was pleased to learn from the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), that my collection of poetry, “Refractions” will be made available in braille. Only a tiny percentage of print titles ever make it into braille. Consequently I am pleased that RNIB have agreed to transcribe “Refractions” so that I and other readers of braille can access it. My previously published collections of poetry, “Dalliance” and “Lost in the Labyrinth of My Mind” are already available in braille from RNIB....

“Intellectual Snobbery and the Poetry Police” by DENavarro
Intellectual Snobbery and the Poetry Police by DENavarro
A while back, I had a run in with the Poetry Police. I got pulled over for excessive adjectives. The officer liked my poem but wrote me a ticket for too
many modifiers. He said it was necessary if I wanted to be a serious poet.
Bah! I had to laugh, which confirms that I am not a serious poet, but rather a seriously lighthearted one. In response to my poem, Symphonic Forest, the
gentleman wrote:
Essentially, I like this poem. However, i...

The wind came yesterday
The wind came yesterday
Blowing useless thoughts away.
And the trees they whispered to me,
Speaking of what it is to be free
The Actress
A girl in jeans
Enacts scenes.
She gleans
The audience’s Desires
And kindles fires.
On occasions she tires
Perhaps,
But then we all lapse
From time to time,
And her acting is divine!

The Fisherman and the Fish
A fish dangling.
Itself entangling
In a net of it’s own making.
I never yet saw a creature so half-heartedly shaking
In an attempt to escape
To the waters of the vast open lake.
The fisherman reels

Fish and man stand
Hand in hand
And dance
In a parody of romance
Upon the sinking sand.
Who holds the power, man or fish?
A dainty dish, to often partaken
Will leave th...
