About

This website publishes the poetry of a Welsh poet living in beautiful Gloucestershire. Poetry should be thought provoking and on occasions funny. Writing poetry has been a passion of the poet for many years. Why am I writing in the 3rd person? My name isn’t important, it’s all about the words. The beauty of poetry is that so much can be said with so little, or sometimes nothing with a lot. Thank you for visiting, I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment and share.

Best wishes

The poet with no name. (Though sometimes people I know use my name, they haven’t obviously read this bit.)
