 ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

 

 For Years I have had many people telling me I should go about getting my poems published, and I'm thinking why ?

 I personally don't think my stuff is that good to be published and that's not me being modest, it's more me being  

 truthful about my own poems, however, I have decided to go ahead and put my collection of written rantings online,

 as a testimony of who I am, who I was in life. I grew up in a poor part of Birmingham ( Small Heath ) in the 1960's.

 Was taken into Care during the 70's, became a young punk in 1977 and kind of stayed the course ever since.

 Was fortunate to have seen parts of America, where I am at present writing these down.

 

 The Poems/thoughts  reflected on these pages cover the last 30 odd years of my life, covering many aspects of the 

 stages in my  life of which I am not going to apologise for.  I will be laying bare some very personal aspects of my life, 

 which will  be reflected in some of the compositions on here, but I'm kind of past caring, but will protect the innocent 

 or guilty  by a subtle name change or so

 

 I have never written for anyone's benefit other than my own  and I have written some complete crap and some not so 

 complete crap but everything I have written I have tried to be original and as real as possible.

 

 End of the day I don't really care if people like or dislike, approve or disapprove what ever I have written, you are all

 entitled to your own opinions as to what you think is good or crap. There are better poets out there than me, and I'm 

 cool with that. Essentially this is for the benefit of my children who may in time come to know and understand who 

 their wayward and errant father was.

 

 Many factors have contributed to the poems I will include on here and of the many influences that have contributed

 to my writings, from God to rebellion, From love to denial, from anger to pain elation and heartbreak  It's real.

 They will be arranged in no specific or chronological order, except in the way that I feel is best.

 

I stopped writing shortly after my birthday in mar 2008, kind of lost all motivation to continue, whether or not this rekindles that desire to write again, only time will tell. but I will all my thoughts and what not what came out of that time, yes there is personal stuff included, but again that makes it all the more real and as raw and honest as can be.

 

Feel free to leave comments and if you are going to rip me off, please have the decency to credit whom you have 

ripped off.Other than that read away.
