Nature
Bay View – Davies Haiku
Bay View Conifer wall Stone to sand cove Silken sheet of blue bay. Written after our first Kayaking trip in Canada I tried to capture all around us, but it would take a hundred poems to set it all out in emotion at what affect that beauty had on me. I've written two of the … Continue reading Bay View – Davies Haiku

At first I thought it was someone with an e-cigarette relaxing on the grass and I was going to sneak a picture because it … Continue reading The Young Dragon And It’s Duty – Poem

A Calm Before a Storm
