Fresh Fruit Shared

Poem #8 from my playlist ‘A Shropshire Grad’. These are a few thoughts on my relationship with social media.

Eric, the Cactus

Poem #6 from my collection ‘A Shropshire Grad’. This is about eccentrics and how they appear to be dying out, like Eric.

Poem #4 from my collection ‘A Shropshire Grad’. Originally written as a competition entry for Teacher Appreciation Week, I found the personal reflections included were too raw to throw away forever after being overlooked in the contest.

Savages

Poem #3 from my collection ‘A Shropshire Grad’. I wrote this poem after a local newspaper described an attack as “savage” and it reflects my disdain for sensationalised journalism, which first emerged whilst studying at university.

The Social Hangover

Poem #2 from my collection ‘A Shropshire Grad’. This poem is about wild nights and the sense of achievement that lingers the following day… despite the fatigue.
