POEMS

This category has three sub-categories in the drop-down menu.

The first is called Digging for Water and features the poems that I published in a book of that name in June 2024. It’s the place where you can learn about the book, read a sample of the poems from it, and I can do my best to convince you to buy it (culture for a mere $4.99!).

The second is New Poems. I’m afraid this doesn’t have many entries because most webzines will only accept your work if it hasn’t already appeared in print, and most of them take this to include on a website or blog or social media.

The third is Old Poems, which is where I will move the poems that have been Poem of the Month and archive them. However, I have been warned that I have to be careful not to make too many available for free because the big booksellers send their search monsters out and remove a writer’s book from their catalogue if they feel the writer is being too generous with his favours. So I apologise beforehand if I err on the side of caution here, but I hope you understand.
