Profile :

An Ex-pat Liverpudlian(from
Liverpool UK) now living in
Thailand with my Thai wife Ooy,my
step-daughter Saai and our five
dogs. I have a Son and two
Grandsons as well as my lovely
Daughter who live in England. I
Retired after 23 years in the Royal
Navy ending my career as a Chief
Petty Officer Artificer Submariner
and then spent 18 years as a
Siemens Computer Engineer servicing
the financial and retail
industries. I have been writing
poetry for over 40 years and never
had or tried to have my many poems
published. Those I have on this
site were chosen at random from my
written collection which is
considerable. As you will find
when you read my work I am a trier,
sadly lacking but I enjoy the art
of poetry it is my passion. I love
to read all forms, with a bit of a
hold on the more modern stuff in
particular rap as I can't get my
head around the language though
recently I have enjoyed some of the
newer stuff. I live in hope that
one day my poetry will reach the
level of Browning or Frost, two of
the greatest poets that ever laid
pen to paper. In the meantime I
will continue perusing my
dream. One last comment please
give me a mark and comment if you
get a round to reading any of my
poetry and do not be afraid to be
honest, Ray S.

My Love for you

Is that feeling I get of wanting to climb Mount Everest so I can rig up the biggest collection of most powerful amplifiers and speakers in the world so I can then connect my microphone to them and announce it to all the world.
