I've written many poems in my life. Some are too personal for me to publish. The first poem I ever wrote was when I was in Junior school. It was about a little bird I found which had fallen out of a tree. When I was 12 I had a poem published in the children's section of the Catholic paper The Universe. As an adult I have had three other poems published in The Universe - two serious ones and a jokey one.
Here's my favourite poem.
