I have had several poems published in anthologies since 1998 with publishers in Peterborough.

Poem written on 23rd April 2020

Fragility of Life and Love

I realise I could be taken

At any time along

The path that I'm making

Cutting through Hong Kong

I know the grim reaper

Can strike even now

While I try to keep her

Keep my girl in Lao

I see that life is fraught

With pain, pleasure and struggles

Even though I sought

An end to all my troubles

I sense all love is fragile

And all needs understanding

For to blossom takes a while

And for some much persuading
