Liverpool / 2023
The poems I've published here at Poetry Soup are the first I have written since I left High School in 1980.
I tend to stick to writing in rhyme which I am more comfortable with. As long as my poems don't feel overworked and the rhymes don't feel forced then that's OK by me. If readers enjoy them too then that's a bonus.
My sincere thanks to all the following for helping me rediscover my passion for poetry:
- Those who run the excellent Poetry Soup website for affording me the opportunity to showcase my work - and for seeing fit to include nine of my poems in three of their published anthologies.
- Those 'Soupers' who I know only by name and photo for their own inspiring poetry and words of encouragement and
- Ann, my wife, for her unwavering support with my poetry endeavours since I joined this site in September of 2019.
Cheers - Gary
