Below is the link to my latest poems on Squidoo. I have lots of other pages there. I love writing poetry. I began as a child writing for the school magazine. Through adult hood I would occasionally write but not very much. When I was training to be a local preacher with the Methodist church in Britain I had to write some meditations and this is when I got back into writing poetry. I then challenged myself to write a poem a day for a year. These are also on Squidoo. I hope you will explore my poems and enjoy them too.

In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates.
