We [CMT/myself] had a great launch day for the Coleridge Memorial Statue fundraising on Saturday, 25th July. Donations have slowed considerably since then, but I will continue to work to make our site and cause get more attention over the coming days.

It was therefore pleasing for me today to have my poem Definitions of Poetry Over Time, 1 up at Stride as this, from a longer sequence, features Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Symmetry.

Visit the CMT Crowdfunder site here.

Read my poem at Stride here.

I wrote this today for a sequence I’m working on, but it doesn’t fit, so here it is.

25 years ago today we saw The Rolling Stones on their Voodoo Lounge tour and gig at Wembley Stadium.

Wonderful to be able to drive straight into the car park as well as enter the stadium and select our seats before the event was open to the public. Memorable performance and day out with my family.
