It’s your world and it’s my world …
… so let’s make sense of it together.
Within ‘Unstated’ you’ll find words, images and music. I’m looking to find sense in this messy, confusing, confused but often lovely world. I’m also looking to enjoy the world, to respond to it and sometimes to simply capture moments from it. I’ll share what I find as honestly as I can.
If you’re not sure what’s here, I hope this site guide will help:

Preventing A Vacuum
I’m very aware that the very word ‘poetry’ is a big turn-off for some people. I can understand that. So let’s ignore defining sets of words as poems or anything else. Let’s focus on what I’m trying to achieve instead. Sometimes I’m keen to write brief … (Read More)
