A pocket full of tissues / is what you said / Watch out little lady / or you’ll end up dead!
what would be the subject matter of nursery rhymes today…. Domestic violence, a dirty little secret and its very hard to escape. Society portrays DV to be something that happens to women, not men. It was definitely not something I was expecting to experience as a male. Shameful as society thinks it is to be a man and be a victim of DV, I am not the only man to experience it. In writing this, I risk people I dont even know, thinking that I am weak and less of a man than the next person on the bus! I need to say that gay men are not always faced with DV or other negative situations, I say good luck to those that have seen smooth sailing. However generally gay men are at risk of: family rejection, school beatings, ostracising by the community for misrepresenting the stronger sex, ha! / And alas, attempted and achieved suicide. Then to find your romantic ‘saviour’ to be as violent if not more so, than the enemies outside of your love relationship – you wonder if you are worth anything at all. This trilogy for me is cathartic I know, self indulgent probably, uncompromising I hope so, healing I pray so. . .

If this is true, I once was told, you go there when you die./ I want the little stars at night, to be peep-holes in the sky / This means …
A few years ago, I became very ill. I had 2 very young little girls and feared they would not remember me if the worst happened. I started writing a journal to them, all about myself. With everything I loved, from movies to my favourite perfume. But I wanted them to know, that if the worst did happen. That I would always be there for them and wanted to give them a feeling of me always being there with them. I wrote this poem in a child-like way and tried not to make it sad, but more like a nursery rhyme.
What care I, in knickers of red? / I’ll give him breakfast tea in bed. / Hibble hobble hibble, hibbledie head.
A friend challenged me to write a passionate nursery rhyme and so I became fascinated with the idea of writing a poem with clear and simple theme (primary colours, clothes), nonsense words for the sheer joy of the playful feel of them on the tongue, and the motif of three (a magic number – every child knows about magic!) and applied that to the number of lines per stanza. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I had fun writing it !
I will have justice!

Perfection surrounds us all. / From this height we shall not fall.
Here’s a little bit of a twisted nursery rhyme.

Another piece of coursework by myself. It was only a practise but I was really happy with it. The whole class was given the same topic and we all had to do descriptive writing. Mine was read out to the class by the teacher who then told me the mark I would get for it. I was shocked when she said I would get an A.
Peep into the nursery bright, children are at play. / Little girl with ribboned hair starts another day. / Cuddles her favourite doll dress…
