Mick Westwood's bio
I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure. -

What's a graze?Dear all at Silversurfers. I am so very grateful to you all for publishing my humble submissions. I must admit that I am slow to get `the gist` of the technology involved and I have to rely on the intervention of others like` Sally` for help. Without you all, - I would be nothing. Thank you all very much. - Mick.ViewDate:

A child of 'The Forties'To; `Sally`, and all at `Silversurfers`, who took the time to read and comment on this, and indeed all of the poems that I have submitted!. Thank you so much. To have been awarded, `Editor`s choice` has come as quiet a shock to me. ( I think that the last time that I won any sort of a prize was on a `hook a duck` stall ). I am really grateful for your kind and informative remarks and the confidence that you have instilled by them will be put to good use. Thank you all again. Mick.ViewDate:
