My Prose Is Turgid, It Just Hasn't

I Am Always Pleased To Be Asked To Write A Poem.

You Can Find Poetry In Your Everyday Life, Your Memory, In What People Say On The Bus, In The News, Or Just What's In Your Heart.

I Grew Up In A Bookless House - My Parents Didn't Read Poetry, So If I Hadn't Had The Chance To Experience It At School I'd Never Have Experienced It. But I Loved English, And I Was Very Lucky In That I Had Inspirational English Teachers, Miss Scriven And Mr. Walker, And They Liked Us To Learn Poems By Heart, Which I Found I Loved Doing.

How Would You Prepare To Die On A Perfect April Evening?

I Think All Poets Must Feel This: That There Is Constantly Something New To Be Discovered In The Language. It's Like A Thrilling Encounter, And You Can Find Things.
