I do love writing, but I haven't done any for quite a while now; so anything on these pages was probably written before I was 20, or in the case of the daft stuff (that only took a few minutes to write) in the last 2 years. I can't ascii-ise all of my work, so this page isn't at all representative of my writing! :-) :-) (o) (o) (o) (o) (o) (o) (o) (o)(o) (o) (o) (o)(o) (o) (o) (o)(o) (o) (o) (o)(o) (o) (o) (o)(o) (o) (o) (o)(o) (o) (o) (o)(o) ___ _ ___ ___ ___ ___ _ ___ ___ ___ | | | | | / / \ | | \ | |_ / / | |\ | | \ | |_ ( ( |_| |_|/\| \_\_/ |_|_/ |_|_ \_\_ |_|-\ |_|_/ |_|_ _)_) _ _ ___ ___ _ ___ _ _ ___ | |\ | |\| | | \ | |_) | | ( ( | | | |\| / / _ |_|-\ |_| | |_|_/ |_| \ |_| _)_) |_| |_| | \_\_/ __ ,' `. /~CREME\ Remember when creme eggs were /_ _ _ \ This bloody big? |(/_(_|(_| | Somebody said in the bar with \ _| _|/ A last swirling swig _,-. `.____.' _,-' _ ) Of the beer that once marked(_.-' _.-' _ Some great passing of age _() _,-' ,-' `-.

Sometimes it can be rather silly, as in the first poem.... or sometimes quite serious like "Sage". "Sage" is an important piece for me. It was written shortly before my grandfather died, and read at his funeral. My memories of the days I spent with him as a small child are possibly the best and warmest I have, and therefore, this page and everything on it,is for him.
