Welcome to my new website ‘andapoet’.

I started writing poems four months ago and over the last month or so I have been working on creating this site, uploading the poems and generally tidying things up.

To help you get around the following links might be useful:

Poems – a complete list of the poems with links to each one (note that currently one of the poems – King Heron – has not been published here as it has been entered into a competition)

About – a short account of my discovery of poetry and the birth of this site

And A Poet? – a longer, personal reflection on the rather limited role that poetry had played in my life until recently and about how and why this suddenly changed.

Hopefully you will find something here to enjoy, inspire or help in some way. And if you spot a spelling or formatting error, a broken link or anything else that doesn’t seem quite right then please let me know.
