Hi! This is a picture of me... but then it's my site so you wouldn't expect anyone else.
My name is Ian Hillbeck most of the time, and John Smith if I've done something wrong ;-) Friends call me "Merlin" and I can't spell what enemies call me...
I was born on 14th May 1960 (work it out!) and I live and work in Barrow In Furness, Cumbria, UK. (Though my boss may want to argue the last bit)
Here is a selection of my poetry. I hope you find one or two enjoyable offerings among them.
I must remind you that I hold the copyright on these works and just because I let the world read them doesn't mean you can copy them. If you wish to use them or comment on them, feel free to write to me.
