Poem: Youth

Spring lamps jump for joy 
heedless that their destiny 
is to become sheep


Poem: Apology

Sorry I can't help you now 
Sorry I can't help you 
Sorry I can't help 
Sorry I can't 
Sorry I 
Sorry

Poem: Welsh Industry

3rd prize for Six Couplets on the theme: Welsh Industry (National Museum of Wales e-steddfod 2004) 

 Once the ports kept freighters full
Of iron and coal, slate and wool 
 Marinas occupy the docks 
With bistros and apartment blocks 

Where  a factory used to stamp and rage 
Now there's an annual car-rally stage 
 Railway tracks grow dull with rust 
The rotting trucks are filled with dust 

 Hands fall idle for want of tasks 
'What of Welsh industry?' someone asks 
 The answer is becoming clear: 
It would be a good idea.
