Monday's Son

Every Monday I'm going to be posting a poem here that wasn't included in my book. It'll be a depository of sorts for b-sides that haven't found a home yet. Here's the first one. I hope you enjoy them.


Fishful Thinking

I wish I was in a fishing show
Not because I love the sport
In fact
It bores me to distraction
No, I wish I was in a fishing show
Because of its standards and practices
No one yells
You're alone on the water
The scenery is pleasant
The weather's usually the same
And there's plenty of time to think
I definitely wish I was in a fishing show
Right now
Rather than having to worry about
Being run down
By a cyclist on the sidewalk
Who's in more of hurry than me
And who breaks
For no one

Finally, the softcover version of my first book of poetry is available at amazon.com. Here's the link to its page:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/1467982571/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_5mM5ob11JNF7R

Available at the low, low price of $9.99 US.

I'll be using this space to post poems that aren't available in this particular compilation. And I should have another book coming out in February. Feel free to add me on facebook if you're not already there.

More to come.

It's almost soup

Hopefully, in the next 24 hours. My first book of poetry will be available on amazon.com. For some reason it's on the UK site but not the US one. I'm trying to work that out as we speak and I'll let you know when's it good to go.
