This is an allegorical (ish) poem written about Dublin. Mainly it deals with the city as a woman who has been used and abused so much that she either forgets how to care for her children or spoils them into indulgence.

For years adults were under the impression their children were getting smarter because of computers and all manners of electrical gadgetry while in actual fact they weren’t. / It was a myth that Hugh Jenning wanted perpetuated. The real story was that everything was getting easier and real skills like being lost. Skills, such as mental calculating and farming, crafts like wood and metal working as well hunting and animal husbandry. Skills that were these days automated and required either someone to put something in and take it out again or push a button.

“I’ve never killed one this way,” Vincent said, walking to the kitchen to search for a plastic bag to put the heads in.
This is a short story I put together for my brother at his request to come up with an idea to base a short film on (he is a film student). I don’t have any great interest in vampires, however I do like a good vampire story. This is my only (and most likely will remain so) attempt at the genre.

When the Gulf war was declared a few Birmingham readers and writers got together to read war and peace poems and stories. I wrote 3 and encouraged my children to write too. Happy Birthday Martin has been revised many times but is still as powerful as when I first read it.

A collection of memories, spent living in Prague some years ago. This poem was featured in. Masterpieces: A Literary Workshop. / Writing. The pursuing happiness. / Inspired by Poetry.
Europa’s game / Always spun around / To me sensational / For ancient PR recognizable / Traits for the city’s pulse / A sullen step the next beat
(Prague, Czech Republic) / This city inspired me from the beginning and I found myself writing a poem fairly quickly. What fascinated me most is how so many artistic elements can be found so readily. Walking through Praha is to loose your sense of direction an wake up simply soaking up the atmosphere that somehow surrounds you, then wondering if you find youself taken in by an ancient cathedral or a machiatto.
Where else / for a seeker of the Eastern Gateway / to end up searching?
Bratislava to me seemed like a city so complex in arragement that I simply had to change my meter and format to keep up. Once I did I had no problem remembering what had pulled me in.
To pick the perfect / place to be lost / amongst the West’s Europe / is to wake up within a corridor / not having just one choice.
(Vienna,Austria) / One of my favorite things about Vienna are the alleyways and passages that could define a European city just as the art and ambiance. And one of my favorite things to do in such a city is just to walk. In the process, simply to wonder about the city brings up the geometry of pure linear layout and curvy stylization.Just to be in the middle of the city begets trying to figure it all out.
For a destined traveller / The city could wait forever / Always an Eastern Star / Amongst the sky’s mythos
Budapest, being the Eastern junction that it is, required something to tie it all together for me. The use of the imagery accomplishes this be helping me remember where I started peeling off the layers of this onion.
promised to represent its’ own lonely say. / Maybe in returning home / we see where that particular candle burns.
Modra is the famous cultural center of Slovak pottery. Here I would have to say, the value is the piece of pottery itself, or at least the norm.
