"Re-examine all that you 

have been told, dismiss that

which insults your soul." 

Walt Whitman

WELCOME TO

MY WORLD

 

 

Thank you for visiting my poetic side. 

 

I'm a Scots poet with strong links to the wild borderlands just by the Wall.  My poetry is the product of the feral frontiers. I write from a crack-ridden council estate. I also write fiction, which you can find out more about here. 

POEM FOR AUTUMN
 
Epitaph for Robert Greive, Laird of Tarbolton.  
 
Here lies Boghead amang the dead
In hopes to get salvation;
But if such as he in Heav'n may be,
Then welcome, hail! damnation.
 
ROBERT BURNS
