AUTHOR
Peter Rivendell
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Who me? Born in 1962. Wrote prolifically as a teenager, heavily influenced by books & the music of the time. Stopped writing for 20 years more or less. But started again...
Some of the work here dates from the "early period" - 1979-1982. The rest is since 2000.
I`ve no idea whether I`m a better writer now or then. Maybe I was never any good! I`ve always wondered.
Feedback most welcome...

I've not visited this site at all since January 2006 as I shortly after discovered the unfettred joys of blogging. I'm still writing and actually had a very good summer of writing. I'm posting a recent poem here now but all my recent work is available on my blog - take a look - http://peter-rivendell-poems.blogspot.com/

Flowers That Only Last A Day
Peter Rivendell

Everyone I`ve ever known and loved
Won`t return my calls.
The diary of my recent life
Is written on these walls.
I sense a shadow figure
Drifting through this gloom.
Making no impression
On the carpet in my room.
Flowers that only last a day.

Falling victim to decay.
