It re awoke the reason I exist
Mum and Dad
How they met and their first kiss.
Chats about a close named
after my relations on my mums side
the march’s.
she told the story with pride.
We spoke about Ponds the department store
My Grandma’s family owned
and new street where my Grandad’s family on my mums side lived.
it sparked up memories about my Cub Scout troop
and the all my roots
in this town
oh how the years have flown
In the memories that won’t leave me alone.
By Daniel Hooks AKA Alienpoet
Hi there my name is Dan Hooks and I am a poet.
My poetry has many diverse themes from madness to the mundane, from fantasy and fable to philosophical and the darkness of reality (whatever that is).
I have been writing since I was 18 and have inspired other artists such as Benjamin Heine who created an piece of art work called”filled with fire” from my poem called “Freedom”. That poem was inspired from a quote from Nelson Mandela saying “we are free to be free”. Writing I find is a collaborative process.
I have also written other poems which have been used in language courses in America, Canada and Australia. One of which is called “poem on identity” and the other one is “Antithesis”.
I have a soundcloud account in which I post poems to music and my spoken word pieces. I find spreading my work on various social media platforms really useful for presenting my work.
I am also fond of travelling and have climbed Mount Fuji in Japan visited Finland skied in both USA in keystone Colorado and Whistler in Canada. I find perspective can be found in travelling to other countries and it also helps you appreciate other cultures as well your own.
