Married villages emptied to the call. Young single men from well-worn towns Changed from suits and flat caps to khaki. They changed their hob nailed working boots…
Before I start, please don't ask me for my email address. I only contact fellow poets to comment on their poems, and only on Poemhunter. Thank you. It's about time I added a biography, a bit late I know. A biography is defined as the course of a persons life. I prefer a patchwork weaved over time. My patchwork has many colours. Work is one, a former management accountant, a black and white one, activities another, time is another, relationships and space another. My activities are the colour blue, I have flown light aircraft and gliders in a pale blue sky. I have dived the deep blue oceans, and snorkelled with pilot whales off Lanzarote, another blue. I was the training officer for Hounslow BSAC and taught many people to dive. It had its ups and downs. If I were a cat I would have lost 4 of my 9 lives diving. One to a shark in the Bahamas and 3 equipment failures. One at 38 metres, one at 22 metres and one at 10 metres. Climbing another life lost falling, luckily landing on a ledge, that's grey, the colour of rock. Brown another falling down the stairs at home and one off a ladder. That's at least 7! I've been widowed, my lovely wife Tina died in 2012, that colour is black. Green is my love of the countryside and identifying trees and wild plants, and red my passion for music and my clarinet. Clara my yellow Labrador has to be the colour yellow. Now sadly passed away (6/5/2006-10/2/2021) . So, that's my biography, my patchwork of life!)
