Sitting on the hard drive of my computer are hundreds of abandoned, unsubmitted poems, shut away there in the dark cage of Windows files. They are mostly not poems I would write now - some are really quite old - but occasionally I get them out and tinker with them, cut out a few words, move a comma, put the comma back where it was in the first place... And this is not a productive use of time! So I've decided to post a few of them here - abandon them in a more public place in the hope that they will be content with that, and let me get on with writing some new ones.
Watch this space: poems will be appearing soon, blinking in the unaccustomed light. Some might come limping out, but hopefully a few might feel up to hopping. There might even be the odd one which attempts to fly.
