The use of my poems. March 6, 2008
Hello. Welcome to my blog and thank you for taking the time to take a look. Please have a read, leave a comment, link to my blog and request that I reciprocate.Publishers, literary agents, rich industrial magnates with children in need of entertainment: please feel free to give me a deal!
All poems on this blog are my own property and you’re welcome to use them (for non-commercial purposes) so long as you credit them to Paul Hughes. That’s me. One day I may acquire an exotic nom de plume. At the moment, however, dull old Paul will have to do.
If you do use them I’d really appreciate an email to tell me what for and how they went down with the audience. This is the first time I’ve exposed my verse beyond family and a few friends and I’d just like to have an idea of what use and fun they have been to others.
Excellent!!!
I am soooo glad you have done this!
Finding this has made my week….
This is fab - I love it!
Looking forward to the day you make it as King!
I have sophisticated and foolproof plans underway. The day is coming soon Clare!
From a Queen to a King ;O) …
Wonderful stuff, my son is loving them. Keep up the good work.

Wow - living the dream! Am most impressed my lovely! x
Me thinks you may need reminding that:
“Ogden Nash
acquired cash
From lesser muses
Than Mr Hughes’s”
Keep it up !!
My kind of poetry.
I love your work.
I thoroughly enjoyed your poetry and plan to use one in a lesson . Will try to feed back.
They are amusing and Ogden Nashesque in that they rhyme so well.
hiya Paul - Have really enjoyed reading these - have shown them to an English teacher - I think she is going to use some of them in her Yr 7 lesson next week! Will let you know what they think!!

Having read these and laughed out loud and thoroughly enjoyed them all, I am going to use some of them in my KS2 literacy as we’re doing poetry next week. I’ll let you know how they get on
Thanks ever so for sharing!
Love the poems, I think the parrot one is my favourite. Am going to read them to my Year 1 class whenever we’ve got a few spare minutes. Will suggest them to the Year 6 teachers too as their children will be able to understand them even better.
Well done, these are ace!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
Well, I hope you do become king because that would be an interesting day for us all.
I think we should study your poems at gcse level. We would all pass then because we would get the true meaning from the author himself.
You better become famous, you deserve it. That would be my claim to fame xD
Much adoration!
i have to say my dear friend…i have always loved reading your poems…they are all so very good…and i am happy to see others see how good they are as well..i am so glad you shared them with me …thankyou…a friend forever!
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your excellent, quirky poems Paul. I look forward to buying the book one day!
Hi Paul,
Have just left a message on WN talkback re illustrations, but thought would write here in case you don’t get it there !
Great poems, by the way.
Email me - address on my website if it doesn’t show here.
