Profile
Retired at 50, have spent last twelve years pursuing my hobbies of painting poetry and photography.dont take myself too seriously, just enjoy what I do and if friends like my work, sometimes I sell some or give it as presents. Have made lots of poems for friends for celebrations. Like to write about places I have been or any subject that stirs an interest, art work mostly pointillism in pen and ink or water colour or acrylic, have lately tried my hand at art on the computer, thats fun but hard with a mouse.

Writing
When A Tear Falls.
Your courage is incredible and hard to find credible, / where has that come from, / has necessity lent you the fortitude, to face each day, / to bravely step out upon Life’s pathway.
LOVE SWINGS BOTH WAYS.
Love swings both ways,you’ll see better days, / you love him , you hate him, / but you don’t want to live without him.
THE MAN WITH THE TOUCH
I know you are coming, you promised as much, your deeds have preceded you, Man with the touch..
Alter Ego.
Get down you devil, I admonished him, / the excuses running thin for keeping him in.
That Dream, Uninvited In The Night.
To wait in a place unknown to all, / to wait for that summons and not to know / when one may receive that call.
Lost Moments.
His gaze upon her encountered there, unforgettable, something rare.
