i am an 18 year old 6th form student studying politics, history and english lit. i am a christian, i love to write, i love the thames river, i hate full buses, my nose and strangers that stand to close. i'm a big fan of roger mcgough, adrian henri, simon armitage and e. e. cummings, their beautiful poetry made me want to write, and i drew a lot of inspiration from their work.

sorted by

Flight

This one is about the concept of 'fight or flight', something I've been dwelling on for far too long

Sailboats

I know it's been AGES since I last posted, I just stopped writing. But I'm trying to start again, so here's my most recent one. It's not that great, but I need to start somewhere! It's about panic attacks

Grace

I've been reading a lot of Adrian Henri recently, so I wrote this piece in his style. it's about grace (obviously lol)

Kiss

this is actually a reworking of a poem i wrote a while ago, but i changed it up a bit. hope you like it, took ages to fit the words properly. it's about getting through a break-up, and how no one ever lets everything go

Overdose

this piece is not part of the series i have been writing, it's just a little experimental poem i wrote today (possibly could do with some changes here and there). i think i'll leave it to your interpretation

Part VI - Shoelaces

this one is about my childhood, and how i miss it so much it hurts. still battling a little with writer's block, but it's getting a bit better now.

Only(valuably)yours

i wrote this a little while ago, and i thought i might put it up. it's based on the story of persephone and hades (i love mythology). it's slightly experimental

Part V - Pylons

i'm not sure i'm happy with this one, had to fight through writers block to get it. it's about feeling numb, and missing the bigger picture

Those Beaches And Houses

this one is extremely extremely personal. it's not part of the series i have been writing, it's just something i needed to get off of my chest.

Part IV - March

this one is about unpredictability, and how i cannot stand it when people cannot hear what you are trying to tell them. room for improvement
