Poetry, what are you?
Are you a tree that all poets try to climb?
Tall and strong with many published branches
With each poet striving hard to take a bough
Fruit that takes time to ripen each at a different pace
With seeds that grow as poets plant their thoughts
This tree that spawned so many great and new
Is there for all to let their talent grow

I'm a retired Civil Servant, I worked for the Ministry of Defence retiring at the age of fifty. I am now seventy years of age and was encouraged by my good friend Annie Mulholland in February 2016 to write short stories and poetry as she thought I was well capable of writing both. I started writing in earnest in June of 2016. I have joined a writing group "Tenovus write with us".
