Yesterday I announced the publication of my new poetry and short stories collection, Small Lights Burning.
Below is a poem from the book to give you a taste of what to expect if you buy it.
This is a poem called Dirty Knees.
Dirty knees and nettle stings
Climbing trees and angel wings
Trousers ripped and growing pains
Seaside trips and daisy chains
Listening to Slade with sherbet dips,
lemonade, newspaper wrapped chips
Mars bars and Pick 'n' Mix,
Matchbox cars and Scalextric
Lunchtime bells, cold outside loos
Desktop ink wells, new school shoes
Silly nicknames, monster munches
Playground games and packed lunches
Moon rockets, ice cream van
Sand filled pockets, Action Man
Top of the Pops and Airfix glue
TV cops and Doctor Who
Space hoppers, Meccano sets
Teeny boppers, cuddly pets
Marble scrambling, Noddy lamps
Weebles wobble, swapping stamps
Paraffin heater, skipping ropes
Blue Peter, Kaleidoscopes
Spirographs and Etch-A-Sketch
Lots of fun with Armstrong (Stretch)
Muddy knees and foolish ways
Buzzing bees and endless sunny days
Fields of corn and buttercups
Trousers torn but slowly growing up
