Way back in the day, 1996, when the Internet was young, I joined a poetry forum. With my welcome message from the moderator, I was directed to a list of words which one must never use in a poem.

Poem Collection Unicorn Union

Poem Collection Unicorn Union

This collection of poetry contains some of my personal favourite poems of all times - Steel Lord obviously, my ode to Lord Lucian; but there are also some other poems that I've always particularly loved, such as Mission, The Alien Hunter, and Unicorn Union which gives the collection its title.

Sanctuary Poems

Sanctuary Poems

Whilst transferring an old static website, this collection of poetry exercises called Sanctuary Poems dated March 2000 was found in a sub folder.

These poetry exercises use imagery of environments (Project Sanctuary habitats) to create a metasong flow. But apart from that, they're cool and even the html is a poetic blast from the past.

Enjoy The Sanctuary Poems.

Poem Time Chamaeleon

Poem Time Chamaeleon

I asked for a metasong to start off the new decade on the 1st of the 1st, 2011, and duely, The Time Chamaeleon was delivered to me.

As is the case with classic metasong, it wants to be spoken and heard rather than just read; so if you read the Time Chamaeleon out aloud, you will get more of a sense what it is about and why it is here ...

If Poem by Kipling

If Poem by Kipling

One may judge poems and poetry in many different ways. To me, memorable poems that float into one's mind and continue to do so over the years, decades even, occupy a special place in my heart as well. Rudyard Kipling's IF poem is one of those. I often quote parts of it to myself and others; so I'm going to put IF here to find it again when the moment comes and you need to wonder if you can keep your head ...

Translating A Poem: Zaubervogel & Magic Bird

Translating A Poem: Zaubervogel & Magic Bird

Whilst working on a catalogue of paintings, in which I have added as a detail if there is a poem or a story to go with the painting, I came across the German poem Zaubervogel.

I was going to add it to the catalogue as was, but then decided to translate the German poem into English. As I'm the author, and therefore know "what I was trying to say" (!) this was easy and interesting too.

Here is the original German poem Der Zaubervogel and my translation, the Magic Bird. Oh, and the painting. Of course ... :-)
