Paul Hughes' poetry and verse for anyone with imagination (age 9 and up)

Jake the Cake’s Children’s Poetry September 9, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Paul Hughes @ 6:48 pm

Hello. I’m Paul and this is my poetry blog. I have always loved writing poems but never really thought they were any good. One day I became brave enough to begin writing poems for friends and for people at work. Some of them suggested I should try to have them published. So, here I am.

Two of my poems are about to be published! The book is “My Cat is in Love with The Goldfish.” It’s an anthology compiled by Graham Denton and will be on sale from April 2010. You can pre-order it here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Goldfish-Other-Loopy-Poems/dp/140811559X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253960270&sr=8-1

At the moment I am 65,000 words into a novel. It’s based on the Ballad of Percival Pig. This is why the poems are relatively slow in coming. It won’t last forever, though, and I expect to be writing poems again, full time, by the autumn.

Paul

  4. Hi there,

    some really nice stuff on your blog – love the fly poem!

    I’ ve got a children’s poem on my blog now, along with another children’s fairy tale (will be adding more soon)…if you’d have a look (and comment if you want!) I’d very much appreciate it.

    Thanks very much!
