John Wathen Biography
I was born in a little mining town in South Wales quite a few years ago. I started writing poetry when I was about 17.Some of my poems are very personal, covering events in my life while others I hope, are humourous.I'm never going to be a Poet Laureate but as long as I enjoy writing them who cares.My approach to poetry is simple, I believe that the vast majority of people are frightened by the language a lot of poets use. Poets who seemed to have swallowed a dictionary and use words that most people have never heard of and certainly would never use. I try to keep my poems simple so people find them easy to read. I welcome any comments good, bad or indifferent.

I am a poor old fairy,
from the top of the christmas tree.
And as you enjoy yourselves this Christmas,

Not all cats are fat cats,
some are thin and lean.
Some have eyes of deepest brown,
while others eyes are green.
...
When we first met,
I loved you red.
Fire and passion in my bed.
With passing years,
...
How often can you put on a brave face?
Because this one is wearing thin.
This mask of indifference I'm showing,
is slowly crumbling in.
...
Sitting in the cafe,
with a cup of tea and pie,
Looking at the car park,
gazing at the sky.
