Poetry
Hey, I'm only human,
and I need loving too.
Or is that just sex & lust ?
I need loving,
I need love,
I love loving,
but don't ask me
what love is.
About the Poet
Peter Eric Williams was born on 1st of November, 1961, in Adelaide,
South Australia, and grew up in places which include: Adelaide, Berri,
Sydney, Oro Bay (Papua), Sydney (again), Canberra, Penang Island
(Malaysia); before then returning with his family to Canberra, where
he finished primary school, then High School and College, living in
Lyneham. He then got a job with the Department of Defence, as a
Trainee Draftsman, just before turning 20, where he continues to work
to date (currently 1999), as a Technical Officer.
He has only recently taken up writing poetry. When he enrolled in a
poetry workshop last year, with the ACT Writers' Centre, he needed to
bring a sample of his own poetry to the workshop, and he didn't have
any, so he wrote the poem which became "Nuts" (in a shortened form) in
the evening before the workshop. It was warmly received in the
workshop, and thus the germ of his poetry writing was planted and
grew. He continues to share his poetry with fellow poets at the Closet
Poets, who meet twice a month at the ACT Writers' Centre, and also
occassionally performs his work on radio 2XX.
Peter was diagnosed as a Schizophrenic approximately 15 years ago, and
now leads a relatively "normal" life, with his full-time job, and on
continual anti-psychotic medication. He lives in a rented, two bedroom
flat in the Canberra suburb of Hawker, where in his spare time he uses
his personal computer for the internet, programming and of course,
writing poetry and publishing it on his own personal web page.
A large section of Peter's poetry appears on his personal home page (
http://members.fortunecity.com/pew ). Some of Peter's poetry currently
appears on internet web site "The Australian BDSM Information Site" (
http://www.ozabis.info/stories_poetry.html ), in the "short stories
and poetry" section.
Peter said, "I hope that this poetry will: amuse, bemuse, entice,
entertain, delight, shock, inform, educate and inspire the readers of
these pages." Read this book and you will discover some of the quirky
corners of his mind, about what turns him on, turns him off, and what
turns him a little crazy...
