MY POETRY

My Poetry can best be termed 'Post Modern Formalism'. It is an aesthetic poetry returning to the mainstream of classical English Prosody as a reaction against to-day's overworked prosaic free verse, which as Robert Frost succinctly stated".... is like playing tennis without a net'. I repect the principles rhyme and musicality, and where ever possible similes are rooted in Nature. As mystical poetry they demand an elevated language. My priciple influential educators have been Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne.
