To buy this book, either:
They were sitting in a rockpool,
the large white breasts
of the topless male at first
misleading, the other fully
clothed with cosy woolly hat.
Both sat up to their waists
smacking and scooping water
in the seaside shine,
their faces oozing a giggling glee
that crystallised around
their fisheye gurgles and moments
of gentle hair washing.

"Since Glee With a Blue Background I have had poems published in a wide range of magazines regularly and have emerged from my solitary writing existence and the allotment to do the odd reading at the Blue Room.
