Eating Sausages
My feet tread the ladder Of a brittle spiders web. Swollen hands and bleeding feet Grab each new moment in turn With trembling disbelief. My innards gorge on themselves, Fed by doubts and insecurities. But I can’t deny the steel hook As it teases me from the shadow and Into an new dance, When I […]
Hanging by a thread
May 3, 2011
In this world of celebrity sugar, Where we get a spoon of measure. Too unwelcome and life size; I can find no pleasure. Not in the fatuous and vain And the increments of their incapacity To play the superficial game. But in the slain: The poor souls of this world Who shroud their grief and […]
Easy Living
March 21, 2011
There’s been a real spring-like feeling in the air, it’s gone flat (and the Magnolia are in bud) which is a sign that summer is just around the corner! Here’s a poem about how wonderful it is to be a surfer in summertime (which is our natural state I think). […]
Still Wandering
March 3, 2011
Stuey Campbell pumps a sweet little frontside grab in front of Morte Stone Firstly, a big thanks you to everyone who bought a first edition copy of the book “The Essential Contentment of Futile Wanderings”.

Good to hear from Wooly ripper Stuart Campbell, who Facebooked from Nicaragua to say how stoked he was to be on the cover of ‘Wanderings’ . He is there with Alan Stokes on a photo shoot for Carve Magazine. Which gives me a good excuse to plug the book again and celebrate the tenth sale! […]
The essential contentment of futile wanderings
January 31, 2011
This is my new book of ‘lyrics’ which is published tomorrow (1st Feb). It’s more of a booklet really containing 24 pages with 8 new verses and 12 photos and is hand printed to give it a lovely glossy finish. The words (not too sure if you can call them poems) were the initial impetus […]
Might put it in there
January 30, 2011
being there. Soft and warm the first thoughts of awareness Drift into consciousness with a background thump of A new hangover behind my eyes and in my dry throat. Your yielding body pushes against mine and, Your smell fills me with silent smiles. I keep my eyes closed for another minute Savouring the flavour of […]
Sunset choices
January 29, 2011
I’ve been editing my new book ‘The Essential Contentment of Futile Wanderings’ and wanted a nice sunset for the back page or near the end of the booklet. Generally I am not a big fan of ‘sunset’ shots as I find them a bit clichéd, same-y and they never seem to live up to the […]
