    Outside the Circle: A Collection of Songs and Poems

    About this ebook

    Outside the Circle is a collection of songs and poems I’ve written and composed through the decades. It’s mostly dark, but for those willing to look beyond my personal demons, there can hopefully be found both flashes of resilience and rays of hope.

    The book is dedicated first and foremost to my wife, Trish, who is a fantastic author in her own “write.” Secondly, it is dedicated to everyone who feels bullied, feels different, feels alone, feels friendless, feels hopeless, and feels “outside the circle.” The words “don’t judge a book by its cover” spring to mind as apropos.

    “Outside the Circle”

    Outside the circle I can’t see the sun
    Outside the circle I don’t know anyone
    Outside the circle time is on the run
    Outside the circle is not much fun

    Inside the circle is a white–noise crowd
    Inside the circle is fashionably loud
    Inside the circle there are people with guns
    Inside the circle is a lot of fun

      Two Poems

      Nov 1, 2019

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      Joan Bakewell: ‘I Did Enjoy The 1960s Very Much’

      Mar 4, 2023

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I
