Short stories & poems for everyone from everyone
The signs of age appear for the first time
I am faced with physical restrictions
that will only deteriorate from here
Dulled pains making me irritable
altering my states of mind
making me say things
that I do not mean
I take them back
If only I could
take back
time

When I was seven I started copying poems out of a book and telling people they were mine. When I ran out of good ones to copy, I had to start writing my own. I have been performing and organising nights on the UK spoken word scene now for over seven years and am most of the way through writing the first draft of my first novel 'Zedlist', which is serialised on here. As the story is in fetal form, any critiques or suggestions are most welcome.
