The Poet's Lair: Occasional Fire in the LairMistress's Head

This is my page for poetry written between 1979 and the Present (the Lair was too dark and damp to write in before then). The categories here are Poems from my Nusrat Tribute suite, The Nuallain Verses; Poems for various other Musical Heroes; and Miscellaneous LairScript. This page will not be quite complete until I can retrieve all the titles from various notebooks dating back over twenty years. Enjoy what I have here in the meantime.
