This a selection of the poetry and short stories that I have written over the years. Some good some bad. But all have been enjoyable to write. I hope they are as enjoyable to read. Constructive criticism welcome. Ken.

A Nightguards Life

A Nightguards Life

Autumn leaves that crinkle underfoot
The misty sky at night
The gale force winds
The thunderstorms
Such is a nightguards life.

Winter snow three feet deep
Working on Xmas night
The icy paths
The double thick coats
Such is a nightguards life

Spring birds singing a mating call
Owls that hoot at night
Flowers blooming
Gardens of colour
Such is a nightguards life.

Summer evenings bright and clear
Patrols in short sleeves at night
Cheese salad meal
Unofficial cold beer
Such is a nightguards life.
