On the back of everyone’s comments, I’ve decided to begin my book again, probably from the middle. It’s boring me to write it, and that’s never a good thing. So here’s one I made earlier … (written for a women’s mag when war in the Gulf was on the horizon) 

The second in two poems about the fathers rights issue - my MA tutor said this had too many words and that it was too clear for poetry ...any thoughts on that? 

A rhyming rant about the state of religion - could be considered offensive by some 

This came from a free writing excercise i did a little while ago. It's another performance piece and i guess i want to know if it works on the page 

A performance poem that should take less long to read than it looks 

a simple carpae dium poem. Not sure about the old man bit - any thoughts? (added: Two extra verses I might use to replace the old man bit. Any good?) 

one of two poems about the Fathers4Justice issue of paternity recognition. This poem is not about me, though i do have two children and a bag of empathy
