My poetry is about life.The funny side and the sad side.The good times and bad. It is about love and loss.Man's inhumanity to man.The human spirit's triumph over adversity.The characters that make us laugh and the ones that make us cry.Places in the heart - from the Aussie bush to the bright lights of Paris.Lives well-lived and lives wasted.C'est La Vie, Mon Ami, C'est La Vie.
