Solomon_Song

Age: (a young) 54.  Short, sweet, dark and gently greying hair, white (skin) straight Christian gentleman.   I am not an established professionally published poet (yet).  I have so far been unmarried (the right woman has yet to be found).  I earn a legal living but prefer to withhold my occupation, but I can say I am not a journalist, lawyer, teacher or priest (the four main usual suspects in literature), nor am I a doctor/nurse (I have written sex and health tips in verse form).
Apart from composing poems, hobbies/interests are local history research and writing, community choir singing (bass voice), local church, wikipedia editing (subjects chiefly biographies and places mainly connected with my region of England) about which I have the satisfaction of leaving articles more accurate and interesting to a wider range of readers than when I found them.

Interest in joining to comment and submit own verse, the first of which, Red Silk Sheets and Lingerie, with a later Epilogue, were published here on 1 and 2 October (UK times) 2012.

Many of my poems are written as narrated by a woman, an insight gained from reading women's magazines as well as working alongside women and growing up in a family numerically dominated by females.  They are, with few exceptions, not autobiographical - think of the dramatic ones as rhyming mini-novels.  Some are set in earlier generations, some are contemporary in subject.
