POETRY FROM A NEW BEGINNING

 

I have always written lyrics, even before I learnt to play a guitar. I used to write regularly between the ages of 12 and my early thirties but other pressures led to a long lay-off as life got in the way of things. Now retired, I have returned to writing but now I write poetry.

 

This volume of poetry is work written after that long break.

 

A new beginning.

At last the first volume of John's poetry is available on Amazon. Watch out for more volumes in the near future. Four are already in draft and ready for formatting.

An extract from one of the poems from the book.

 

STAND UP TO FEAR

 

Fear assails me

Analysing my body

with frigid hands

Fear disrupts my thoughts

My brain refusing to comprehend,

should I run?

should I hide?

should I fight?
