I have written poetry since I was 14 which was a long time ago. I have seen a lot & done a lot in the fields of health, emergency & disaster planning & response as well as administration, education & research- I enjoy life.
I am the repository of a great many stories, some I will carry to my grave & many I will share to honour those who shared them with me.
I hope I make a positive contribution

These tool boxes & racks seem a practical example of ready access but it is also a display for my father of what he has done for me. A solid reminder of his contribution to us
The good news came in such a way / I doubt I’ll concenrate this day / Oh thank you all for what you’ve done / Thank every parent, daughter,son / Chris 51
Along the strokes of sun & sand / Is made a hope, a dream so grand / That never hate nor boredom will / Destroy nor stop, ignore or kill
Here are my memories, my laughter, my tears / All of my sharing from all those long years / When I knew he was fading, all I could do / Was to share time with him, as I now share with you / Chris51
Have a feeling? Got a thought / On a facet that life has brought? / Draw it strong & write it terse / In a single, heartfelt verse
My dreams are full of tooth & claw / A night of sleep’s a gaping maw / Morpheus’s touch is no soft embrace / Terror lurks within that place
