Mu Pi Chan

Mu Pi Chan was born in 1959 in a house that was then in the County of Essex, but which now lies within the London Borough of Havering. He was brought up from a very early age just outside Southend-on-Sea (Essex). He spent three years at the University of Kent at Canterbury (Kent), and has subsequently lived In St Albans (Hertfordshire), Guildford (Surrey), and Romsey (Hampshire).Mu Pi Chan has released a number of volumes of poetry (through Project Gutenberg) covering the period 1973 to 2019. Most of Mu Pi Chan's poetry is inspired by the world around him, particularly the natural world and the people of which he is fond. Other sources of inspiration are the works of other poets and books on philosophy, science, and religion. His poems include a number of parodies, jokes and poetic aphorisms based on these readings.Mu Pi Chan firmly believes that writing poetry allows him to release the thoughts in his head which would otherwise drive him mad.

Quarter 1

January 1

Rainy day

The new year

Starts with a shower

(2012)

As i ponder the future

Words come and go

Each without meaning

(2015)

The day

Half done

When i got up

(2016)

All in all

Too many words fall

Beyond the bounds of reason

(2017)

January 2

With Pilates and lunch

I once again

Move into routine

(2015)

In the foothills of my mind

The bedrock is unstable

And prone to landslides

(2016)

January 3

Rainy day

How i ponder

On your subtle silence

(2015)

Once again

A day has passed

The year grown older

(2018)

January 4

I am hoping

Your change

Will include me

(2012)

Days on

Last year

Slowly fades

(2013)

Prophecy is to the future

What hindsight is to the past

Just a story woven through facts

(2016)

The wind blows

As i walk

Over sodden fields

(2018)

January 5

Taking down the decorations

But will

More be taken down

(2012)

The rain falls

I sit and watch

Expecting nothing much

(2014)

In the silence

I find myself

And lose consciousness

(2015)

The lawns are frosty

And the puddles icy

Oak trees bare against the sky

(2017)

January 6

Work over

Driving home

With hope in my heart

(2011)

Again

Your words

Echo my hopes

(2012)

Seeing again

The hope i hold

Under my breath

(2015)

The day dawns

And i feel

Only the bed's warmth

(2018)

January 7

Skin itching

My thoughts

Still not calm

(2013)

More rain

And more cold

Yet i am improving

(2014)

As i contemplate the day

I find myself

Moving towards the future

(2015)

One week on

As the year proceeds

Reasons for change are changing

(2016)

January 8

On the downs

The sun bright

And the views clear

(2012)

Sitting alone

So silent

Something not right

(2014)

Over a map

Part of me

Extends to Hope

(2015)

Time passes

When i'm pissed

The waves travelling nowhere

(2017)

January 9

Around the reeds

The Lower Test

Extends itself

(2013)

Within my world

I turn slowly

Towards new uncertainties

(2015)

Rainy day

As the rain falls

Darkness creeps in

(2016)

January 10

Too many possibilities

My morals

Cause great confusion

(2001)

Strange day

Seeing you at Lunch

Kept you in my
