    I read it in my late teens or early twenties and remember enjoying it. Think I still have it somewhere and should re-read it

    Here goes, read it, didn't relate to it, thought the protagonist was a an over privileged whinge bag. In fact I don't know how any working class British person can relate to this character, but others might feel different.

    I can never tell if you are being sarcastic about my poetry Mossdog. Please don't be offended if your not. I think it's when you contribute stuff it's all brilliant.

    Days

    What are days for?
    Days are where we live.
    They come, they wake us
    Time and time over.

    They are to be happy in.
    Where can we live but days?

    Ah, solving that question
    Brings the priest and the doctor
    In the their long coats
    Running over the fields.

    Focus.

    Sometimes the voice in my head talks to me,
    Forcing me to do stuff lose my dignity,
    Well i won't let it control me anymore,
    Broke free of the shackles knocked down the door.

    No longer me to the power of three no more,
    Cast aside just one now to the power of four,
    I shall write poetry and roam the fell,
    Give me eighteen months and i will run like hell.

    Focused and clear after such a long time,
    Chemical haze disappears i rise and climb,
    Now i can concentrate on the two things i love,
    Never to falter astride the fells looking down from above.

    Intense Focus.

    Minds arrow,
    Straight fell,
    High runner,
    Victorious conquered,
    Natures best no,
    Longer holds fear,
    Lines short clear,
    Words all that's,
    Needed.

    By Herakles.
