Boiled Sweets

Screamin’ like a banshee

cacklin’ on Cockle Row,
the Minister and Miss Price
sweat and sway in the sweet shop.

While witnesses on the cobbled streets
snigger, and sneer
at the lustful sounds
behind the pear drops.

The shop closed early that day.

Paul Dyson is from Swinton, on the outskirts of Rotherham, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He says – “We all have a basic urge to be creative whether it’s art, poetry, music . . . or just putting together flat pack furniture, being creative keeps us alive and feeling human” Paul gave up his 9 to 5 to make his fortune writing poetry, making music and to spend more time with his family and his dog. Dabbling in the Arts, Paul hopes to reach out to others and touch the hearts of those who discover his work.
