A fulfilled life requires a modicum of darkchocolate, poetry, and decent cheese.

Latest news - Some of my bits are now included on a new Light Verse website you'll enjoy.

Several books of my poems are now available from Amazon in Kindle editions, including Old Possum's Book of Practical Pigs. See Publications page for more information, Poetry Zone

I maintain a site for HQ Poetry Magazine. The poets whose work appears on the site are listed here.

I also have a site devoted to Verse Forms. The titles of the poems on it are listed here. (These wereall written by me.)

There's a parodies site called AWild Garden of Verses.

And here's a poem by a former Poet Laureate thatsomeone on a BBC messageboard was looking for several yonks ago.

Puzzles and Wordplay Zone

Crosswords coming soon. (Though I've beensaying that for some time now...)

Printer's Devilry is here already. One page tellsyou how it works, and another contains your firstset of puzzles: Devilled Fruit. TheDevil's Tour of the UK is also ready for you. Already this is probablythe biggest Printer's Devilry site on the entire web - there's famousfor you! - but there's plenty more to come. Old Nick has had a severe attack of Wanderlust, andwill shortly begin exploring the rest of the world. Nowhere is safe. (Well,maybe a few places, like Ljubljana and Szczecin. But he did manage to visit Pietermaritzburg!)

And there are some Language pages that may amuseyou.

Vole Zone

The Vole Information Pages are currentlygestating (though not very fast), and will appear eventually. These pages will be devoted to smallfurry animals such as Clethrionomys glareolus, sooften and so easily underestimated and overlooked by those caught up in the ratrace.

Maths and Programming Zone

I'm playing around with tessellations and Javascript and stuff. I gave a paper about this at the 2004conference of VIEWS, the UK SASUser Group. This way for pretty patterns.

Admin Zone

Here's a page of links.

And a page about how people find this site.

And the site history.

You can contact me here. (But ifyou use this address to send me advertisements, I will ensure - by means Iam not prepared to divulge - that you spend eternity in the innermost circle ofHell, the one where the victims are constantly deluged with spam while ravenousbirds peck at their livers. You have been warned.)
