for MIDDLESBROUGH MAGIC SHIP 288 (G)

A VOYAGING VERSE-POET
I worked down a mine
and for a steel company.
I edited a magazine
in a seaside community.
I worked at the Post Office
after a chocolate factory.
I'd taught Creative Writing
(in a city the last three).
I taught English Language
in a far Eastern country.
Wrote for a publication there.
Aided the son of an MP
who was in private care.
Then taught English voluntarily
(the last two back here).
Many folk, many a celebrity,
has this poet now met.
Many a place do I journey,
a sailor with his sails set
for a wind blowing free.
