Biography

Update...
Hola
My name is Peter, I'm a 68 year old ex pat living in Spain with my 2 adopted cats.
My move was mainly for health reasons which have now progressed, but along with the practically all year good weather living on a pension it also has a much cheaper cost of living.
My education was in a London secondary modern school, I left aged 14 and worked most of my life as a Butcher! no real academic qualities, but would have loved to have been able to write, play a musical instrument, been a Vet, climb Everest, and last but not least discover the Holy Grail.
But providing for a wife and 3 daughters soon put those dreams behind me, but things change.
Almost 20 years ago (O'k mid-life crisis time) I went on a Spiritual Healing retreat, being cut off from the world was I must admit a challenge! no TV, Papers, radio, telephone, meat! or contact with family or friends.
On my return home something strange happened, I could not stop writing what I call poems! but that's for you to decide.
For about 2 years I could not stop not knowing what I had written
till it was finished, then it stopped but re-emerges for a while at the strangest times.
I must have destroyed at least 7 out of every 10 not understanding what they were about, the first one I wrote is called TRUTH which relates to my journey.

They have been in a cupboard gathering dust, and I only came across them getting my bits and pieces in order, there must be at least 150 to go through so here I go ...
Regards
Peter

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
