NEW POEMS

Great night at Verbalise, the spoken word evening at The Brewery in Kendal. Mostly regulars like myself spouting off. I read latest, unpublished verses: Gratitude, Touched, Death in November (nature poem) and a short four liner:

GENEROSITY

Wrap this gift with love and care

Tie it with a thread of prayer

Save it with intent to share

Display it here or anywhere

Am starting to build up another collection of verses in between finishing my latest novel. Am trying my hand at writing a fifteen minute play, as well, but find it quite frustrating. Writing a novel I have complete control over how the characters behave, what characteristics they display etc. With a play, this won't be the case with the intervention of producers, directors and of course actors who may not possess the qualities I envisage while writing.
