I began writing poetry in earnest about twenty years ago, and I had several poems published in the 1990's. During my most active period I was writing more than one hundred poems per year, most of which have been posted on several different poetry sites over the years, either under my own name or various aliases. These days I write much less, and only for my own pleasure. I no longer seek publication for my work.

In addition to writing and reading poetry, I have a keen interest in music. I write songs, sing and play guitar and ukulele. Some of my songs (along with a few covers) can be found on my You Tube channel at Lostchord1000

Other interests and pastimes of mine include photography and playing chess. I am also in the process of researching some of my family history and building a Family Tree (a mere sapling at present).

I hope you enjoy reading my poetry, as I post it here, and I shall endeavour to read as much poetry by other members as time allows~Robert.
