Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself.

How Do You Write Poetry
There is a question I am often asked,
of which I have no answer for at all.
The question is a simple one,
how do you write poetry?
To be honest I haven’t got a clue.
With me the words just trickle out
one after the other,
if they rhyme that is great
and if they don’t, I just scratch my head.
I cannot tell anyone how to write,
for me it’s just a natural thing.
I write almost everything,
novels, short stories, poems and songs.
I have even written a couple of plays,
but that was a long, long time ago.
However to tell anyone how to write,
I would not know where to begin.
The answer I give to the question is simple;
write whatever you like good or bad.
It’s yours and be proud of it
no matter what anyone else has to say.
The more you write the better you will get.
However, the most important thing
that you should always remember and that is
that you write, write, and write!

A Poem Is Not The Answer To Everything
A POEM IS NOT THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING
A poem is not the answer to everything-
Perhaps it is not the answer to anything
Though I wouldn't take it that far-
There have been times
When a poem was the answer-
Many times
A poem written by someone else
A poem I tried to write by myself-
Poems can be an answer
Perhaps not for most things
Perhaps not for all the major things
But for moods and pains and feeling
And desire for Beauty
Poems can be answers at time-
A poem is not really the answer to my problem of the moment now
But it is an answer of a kind anyway
Thank God for poems and for this poem also.

I Thought Of So Many Things
I thought of so many things
So many pains so many problems-
What is this life?
We live and we die
And in between
We try and fail so much-
And sometimes sometimes
There is light and an answer and beauty even
Sometimes-
But mostly so many pains and so many problems
And so much on our minds at once
We have no easy answer to-
Life can be great and good, its true
But mostly in this old age time especially
It is so difficult.

I sit in places like Costa Coffee in Banstead and write rubbish. I need a deadline. I think about the 44 tour dates and keep imagining standing in front of all these people. Then every day I write 15 jokes minimum.
Undefined Importance
Who is the most important person,
When is the most important time,
A question that creates a loop on itself,
Quite intriguing, but never concrete,
Like rolling a die
With infinite sides,
It's a different answer
In a year or two
It only has one answer,
And most of us will get it wrong
Because none of us are truely living
The present, the Now, right this moment
Strip us of any labels,
Discard your position,
Stand up straight,
And open your eyes,
Who you are talking to right now,
Each second you are conversing with them
Is the most important thing
Right this moment

I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.

Fans Of Written Word Verse
fans I have no fans
fans are for past dead
fans are for present posers
I am not yet spent dead
I am still one of elite verse doers
I am still among rare word writers

An Old Man Medicates His Pains Away
AN OLD MAN MEDICATES HIS PAINS AWAY
An old man medicates his pains away
He wants to live in his mind
As if his body can be temporarily forgotten-
He tries to be as he once was
Easy in the skin of himself -
But the pains the pains the pains
They come from different directions
They interrupt they remind they dismay
The pains the pains
They may go away for a time
But they don’t forget to sharpen again-
An old man does not want to think of his body as his enemy
He is no pure mind and does not dream to be
But the pains
When so many come at once
And when no medication can really put a stop to them-
They will defeat him -
Drugged into restless sleep
He will not be able to die without them.

Above all, a query letter is a sales pitch and it is the single most important page an unpublished writer will ever write. It's the first impression and will either open the door or close it. It's that important, so don't mess it up. Mine took 17 drafts and two weeks to write.

What I Cannot Write
what i cannot write
is the answer of the riddle of the sphinx
to me.
i know myself.
hence, i know the answer very well.
i cannot even say it.
thinking about it
shakes my being
like an earthquake
to the foundations
of my house.
i cannot say or write it.
because if i will
everything in me crashes
like September 11.

If you write, one of the questions you're always trying to answer is, Where do you get your ideas? And, if you write, you know how pointless a question this is and how difficult it is to answer.

The Time For Rhyme Treasure Trove
I'm going to pause for a while -
Take time out from my day...
To write a poem, make you smile
And take your cares away...
I'll write of places where I've been,
Describe them one-by-one...
With some precision set each scene
And then I'll share some fun!
Perhaps I'll add an angel, too,
Important news to speak...
To prophesy to folks like you
Such that the Lord you seek.
Perhaps I'll tell an epic tale:
Courageous to the core!
With magic words that cannot fail
Such that you ask for more!
Perhaps I'll write romantic rhymes
Of when love pounced on me!
Relating rhapsodies of times
When courtship brought such glee!
Perhaps I'll curtsy round the truth!
Embellish now and then...
Or back it up with precious proof
That should convince all men...
Perhaps my work will reach Mankind
In some anthology!
If so, I'll try to stay refined
So folks can talk to me...
'My autograph? Yes, that's alright! '
I'd sign it with such flair!
It's nice when fans are so polite!
God bless them, everywhere!

The Problems And Pains Of Life
THE PROBLEMS AND PAINS OF LIFE

Destroy Poetry
One loses heart
And can barely write a single word
What is the point of more words
When they do not solve the real problems?
Another poem
About the inability to write Poetry
Is written.
