| Introduction | Hello, I'm Dean- amongst other things I'm a part time Poet, a neglectful novelist and an increasingly liberal minded Christian, as well a devoted husband and long suffering step father! I guess I see life as a sort of field trip during which we gain a little understanding our world, of one another, and perhaps even a glimpse of the Divine. Through my poems and general witterings I aim to explore the poetry of everyday life; the light and shade of human being. And if that seems a bit of a tall order, I'll just write about the joy of Guinness and Lamb Bhuna! |

Describe the sound of a moist waffle falling onto a hot griddle.
Like the sound of a child falling into adolescence.
