I am not Pam Ayres,
Funny poems are not my thing,
People don’t laugh,
At the words I write,
But they may laugh at me,
Because I look such a sight.

I am not Pam Ayres,
She writes about her teeth,
And people will giggle,
But not at my words,
Though they may laugh at me,
Because I look so absurd.

I am not Pam Ayres,
With her Oxfordshire accent,
Her poems cause a titter,
But not when I speak,
Perhaps I may cause a stir,
When I talk with a squeak.

But I am not Pam Ayres.

Dan Hooks

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.
