Briggs & Stratton

Not only did she prove

that she didn’t need a man

about the place, but that

it was possible to mow

the lawn in several

different directions at once.

Good grief this reminds me so much of all that mowing I did at the Bull's Head... used to take me half the day to do it all! Thanks Dange. Hope you get going again soon on the poems. You're really good...

About The Poet

John H Davies was born in 1962. After Uppingham and Sandhurst he served as an Infantryman in the British Army, and later as a mercenary in Central America, where he was detained in solitary confinement for a year as a prisoner of war. Since returning to the UK he worked in the manufacturing industry for 20 years, before joining a security company in East Africa. His portfolio included Tanzania, Kenya, South Sudan, Somalia, Zambia and D R Congo. John now works for a tourism and conservation organization in the Serengeti region of Northern Tanzania. The poetry is influenced by those early events, and subsequent adjustment to the day to day life of work, family and relationships. The poem 'Chinese Whispers' appeared in The Spectator, and Shropshire Life magazine published a monthly piece for a year selected from the blog. John can be contacted mwambani@hotmail.com
