I am over 60 years old and write poems generally about my life. Many are funny, some are not. Poems about Izzy and Lara are about my beautiful grand daughters. The series of poems about Liz are about a dear friend and former colleague and are with her permission (indeed she suggested some of the topics). There are also serious poems (the minority I have to admit, these include poems about Henry V111, Richard 111, problems with high rise flats and serious disease which affects so many HLH). The poems are varied I hope you enjoy them!

Having seen the pollution during lockdown disappearing and the planet recovering , I felt this assessment out mankind's negative impact on the planet was appropriate. Let's hope we do learn something from the lockdown period.

This is a fun anecdotal comedy about the nonsense technology has brought to the shops and our lives. This is shopping before the pandemic. It made me think of Granville and Arkwright in Open All Hours , they would be bewildered by the events in the poem.

Was "charismatic" in the English language in the 1400s?
beautifully delivered words of an anything but beautiful moment... all too often romanticized... but resolved hopefully, here... love you, my brother in verse and feelings... x
Most creative people have suffered some form of mental illness that is why we see the world slightly different than others.
So perfectly said. She was a beautiful and very talented lady.

A shocking indictment of so-called justice carried out by the evil racially-motivated powers that be. The frightening tale here read so eloquently by performance poet Mr Richard Harries asks us to consider... what has changed between 1944 and 2024 in our troubled societies? Can we say anything has improved in terms of justice for our brothers and sisters? If not, this poor poor young boy's innocent death at the hands of the state was in vain. God bless all these innocent souls. Thank you for your very moving, emotive and thought-provoking video, folks.
Well.done Richard
Loved it! Thank you very much for the poem and making my birthday a great and cracking one💞🙏
Nice delivery, smooth and informative. Michael Lee Johnson "Lee Johns"
Wow! This is great
Bless him , very poignant story . Richard thankyou.
Brilliant!
Excellent words, Rich, and the video is great too. From what I've read about young George, I agree, he was totally innocent and was an easy target for the kangaroo court that took his life.
simply brilliant... gorgeous reading, production.. a beyond golden soul to this..
Great production with words well spoken
Yet another year Richard. Thank you for the birthday wishes xx
Thank you so very much Richard!
Plz add subtitles
Isn’t a house in the UK a goldmine these days?
Absolutely beautiful tribute to Tina Turner.👏👏💜
Thanks, Richard for sharing this also on my birthday. It's quite a serviceable poem!
I often wondered if Tina Turner with that hateful Ike Turner believed in Jesus. Her sexy and some of the best hard rock let it all hang out songs ever. She attended Baptist services every Sunday when she was growing up, but later switched from the Lord's Prayer to Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Still, Tina Turner has identified herself as a Buddhist-Baptist, maintaining that the essential message of both religions is the same and love has a lot to do with it.
Great sir ❤️🙏
Many thanks Richard. xx
