Tom Clancy It seems our yesterdays Have a lot to answer for Putting all our efforts Into closing that back door While still concentrating On what we cannot change We push our bright tomorrows Completely out of range There is no yesterday Tomorrow is in the future There is only today This moment is...

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)
