Discard cool designer labels let the fads of fashion pass lock the clotheshorse in his stable bring the stallion out to grass. Have him flex a well-toned muscle show his paces — pose and pout rise above the high street hustle prove what style is all about. Wrap that body in pure cotton classic with its crisp appeal cuffs and collars all forgotten let the garment now reveal what is male — the athlete’s torso fit for jogging in the park a host of sports ( and even more so) wild gymnastics in the dark. Let fans admire those fabric ripples running round each brawny chest and virile peaks of manly nipples underneath his fine-ribbed vest. Upmarket glossies are promoting looks I’ve fancied all along would get female readers voting — Vogue and Beckham can’t be wrong. Firm tattooed boys ditch the tailor — buy their kit from M & S for both sexes love a sailor posing in a surf-white vest.

My poem Hope's Flame (see here) appears in SOUL FEATHERS — a poetry anthology published in February 2011 by Indigo Dreams Publishing Ltd to aid the work of Macmillan Cancer Support. The compilation contains the work of many internationally-known names including Carol Ann Duffy, Bob Dylan, Seamus Heaney, Maya Angelou, Benjamin Zephaniah, Leonard Cohen and Sharon Olds alongside both established and first time poets, all brought together in support of the cause. Based on the theme of Hope, and taking inspiration from lines written by Emily Dickinson — "Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune -- without the words And never stops at all” — the poems in SOUL FEATHERS share, and compare, the common experience. The editors have done a superb job, and I am very proud to have a poem of mine in such good company. SOUL FEATHERS is available from www.indigodreamsbookshop.com Also from Central Books 0845 458 9910 ISBN 978-1-907401-36-7 Please buy this book, help Macmillan Cancer Support, and enjoy some wonderful poetry.
