Poem for a friend's 50th birthday

Inspired by the sad discovery of a dead man's precious possessions, thrown into a pile of rubbish for a bonfire.

Inspired by my experiences in the emergency department of a hospital. I was "The man in (cubicle) seven".

An attempt at writing an Italian (Petrarchan) sonnet, inspired by fading memories of an old school friend.

A nonsense poem, written for children. Intended to be read to, rather than by, younger readers.

I stood in my doorway and looked out at the rain. I felt inspired to write this.

A villanelle, inspired by an art gallery. This is my first and (to date) my only attempt at writing within the rigid villanelle form.

A combination of dodgy electrical equipment and flatulence results in Colin Goode being transported to another universe - Zobeland.
