About

This website is not a showcase for my poetry. Well, these are my poems and I would like you to read them, but this isn’t a modern book with a hand picked selection of work for worship by genuflecting critics. It is a fun site with a mix of pieces that work together for amusement in ambiguity. Some pieces I’ve worked hard to craft, others are an hours work. Placing this mix of pieces is both risky and important. It’s important because people (as found lurking on the internet) like a huge variety of different things and I hope to cater for a variety of tastes (and I like poetry at all levels, from the jape to a voluminous treatise). It is risky because those very same people have mostly formed an opinion about what it is they want a poem to be. They will pick a poem at random and judge the site from that single poem. Other than asking you now to try a few more, there is little I can do to offset the issue. The one thing I would like is for you to leave me a comment. So please do.

The pieces on this site have only two things in common. Firstly, I wrote them. Secondly I wrote them in such a way as to give the words more than one meaning. Usually there is one obvious meaning to the piece and one or more other, unobtrusive way, to read the piece. This means that these pieces require you to be open minded and expend a bit more effort than you otherwise might. That’s up to you entirely of course, but if you want to see more than the obvious then, as in life, the price is higher. Hopefully this explains the title of the site. If not … read a few things.
