Hi Chris, Good to hear from you, discovered this site by accident after searching around for self-publishing options on behalf of a friend who doesn't have access to the internet. Nice to know you're still writing. Thought I'd go through the myriad of scribbled bits of paper I've tucked away over the years to find something at least I mite coherent. Lots of half finished stuff which is typical me. Looking forward to lots of perusing! Stay in touch.

@madeyouread ... They say great minds think alike (of course the other kind probably do too). :)

@seasofme@Snowdrop07 Many thanks for your comments on my work and just for reading it in the first place! Getting on the shortlist was quite a shock. Recognition of some kind is always nice but the greatest reward is just to know that people are reading your stuff and getting something out of it. Being on the shortlist just means that more people will read my work, so that's the real thrill. Still, there must have been a lot of very fine collections that didn't quite make it, so there are plenty of hidden gems still waiting to be read. Judgements about poetry are always highly subjective; they change with fashions, seasons, time of day and the particular mood of the reader, so I just feel very lucky and honoured that the Attys judges felt my collection was worth putting alongside the other fine collections on their shortlist.

@raggedclown Thanks. That's just about the best compliment I could hope for!One Day the Sun: A Collection
What a beautiful collection! Inspirational.
Coming to Terms
@MikeRBurch P.S. Maybe the simplest change would be to add the word 'then' to the beginning of that line; that would make it perfectly iambic...
The War is Over
@MikeRBurch That's true enough. Sadly, I'm not Keats! I did once write a tune for La Belle Dame, though. :)
The War is Over
@MikeRBurch P.S. I loved reading your own villanelle, The Divide, by the way. Superb.
