You can complain because roses have thorns, or ...

you can rejoice because thorns have roses -- Ziggy Children of the light Children of the world bringing forth the light Their aura of purple blending into the night Eyes filled with hope and expectant delight Playing moonbeam games; what a beautiful sight!

After changes upon changes, we are more or less the same -- Paul Simon

About this Blog

This is where I will be writing and posting my poetry - a lot of which was written between the years of 17 - 19 (I am now 50!!) I have only just found the urge to do something with these poems and have started adding slowly to my collection - I hope you like them (I'm still feeling my way here)
