Yes, I do often write poems from the mind, but I hope I don't ignore feelings and emotions.
Each word bears its weight, so you have to read my poems quite slowly.
The sea is as near as we come to another world.
Blackbirds are the cellos of the deep farms.
My earlier poems were sadder than my poems are today, perhaps because I wrote them in confusion or when I was unhappy. But I am not a melancholy person, quite the contrary, no one enjoys laughing more than I do.
I remain loyal to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert in music and to Shakespeare and Jane Austen in literature.
