Welcome to my website, ' POETRY FROM TOM MCGREEVY. ' I am a FREELANCE POET. Writing POETRY is a passion of mine, and you can view samples of my work by clicking on the various buttons on the right side of any page.
All poems on this site are created and authored by myself, and all work on this site is 'copyright', so please contact me if you wish to use them for any purpose.
SITE LAST UPDATED: THURSDAY 17th July 2008
I am also a Site Moderator for FORCES POETRY , a non-profit making Website/Forum for serving and ex-serving members of Forces anywhere in the World.
For ongoing news on the forthcoming FORCES POETRY book, please view page ' News on forthcoming Forces Poetry book ' on this website.
I served 13 years in the 'British Armed Forces (Army), operating in such remote places as ' The Jungles of Belize, Central America '. ' Germany ', ' Denmark ', ' France ',' Belgium,' ' Northern Ireland ', ' The Falkland Islands ', ' Cyprus ', ' England ', and ' Rhodesia/Zimbabwe ', Hence the Military slant to some of my poems.
I hope you enjoy browsing through my poems, some sad, some humour, some love, and some written from other peoples shoes.
The Cancer poems were written from personal experience, as I have 'Prostate Cancer', but am now thankfully going through 'Remission'
I now live with my Wife and Children in 'Berkshire, England, Nr Heathrow Airport (Terminal 5 ), and not far from ' Windsor Castle ' and ' Legoland '.
