David has had two plays on TV. "Where's Melissa" on ITV and "Birthdaze" on Ch4.

I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. Why did the oil refineries around Cardiff seem sinister to me in the summer of 1966? Why have the night lights in the deserted house burned in my mind for thirty years? What is going on in these pictures in my mind?

I write to try to make sense of the randomness that swirls all around us… oh yes, and I write because I enjoy it.

Let us start with my AUTOBIOGRAPHIES, always a gold laden mine to dig into; perhaps it will inspire you to contribute some autobiographies ( in poetry or prose) of your own.

I hope you enjoy reading my work on TICKET 4 THE PEEPSHOW, as much as I will enjoy reading your work and putting it beside mine here.

'Alice Threw The Looking Glass'

"Alice threw the looking glass,
She threw it at the wall.
Alice threw the looking glass
It splintered in its fall.
Alice threw the looking glass,
It nearly holed the rabbit.
Alice threw the looking glass,
A very shattering habit."
