Profile

"I WAS BORN ON 7th. JULY, 1951 INTO A FAMILY OF
TRAVELLING SHOWMEN, ALTHOUGH, I NO LONGER TRAVEL MYSELF, I HAVE MANY FAMILY MEMBERS THAT STILL DO. I BEGAN WRITING POETRY IN MY TEENAGE YEARS, I OBSERVE LIFE AND NATURE, WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE GOD'S CREATION. I BECAME A CHRISTIAN AT THE AGE OF 15, MY POETRY ALMOST ALWAYS RELATES TO GOD AND HIS CREATION. I TRUST MY INSTINCTS AND MY EMOTIONS, THEY ARE VERY MUCH AT THE FOREFRONT OF MY POETRY.

IT WAS MY SISTER, RHODA, WHO ENCOURAGED ME TO ENTER ONE OF MY POEMS FOR A COMPETITION, EVER SINCE THEN, 'UNITED PRESS' HAVE PUBLISHED LOTS OF THEM, FOR WHICH I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL, SADLY MY SISTER PASSED AWAY IN 2008, AFTER MY FIRST PUBLISHED POEM CAME OUT IN THE BOOK "FREE SPIRIT" BY UNITED PRESS, THE POEM WAS CALLED "WONDERMENT".

I AM A CHURCH SECRETARY, PLAY GUITAR, SING, WRITE SONGS, PAINT ON GLASS AND PORCELAIN, DO LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE PAINTINGS.

I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, LOVE ANIMALS AND OWN A CARAVAN IN NORFOLK WITH SEA VIEWS.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED AS BEING LOVING, KIND, HELPFUL AND COMPASSIONATE."
