Poems of the World Around Me

My name is Graham Naylor (aka "Hammer"). I am a 55 year old Australian who has only just commenced writing poetry, so please excuse the crudeness of my work. I have recently retired and become interested in the arts I have taken up drawing and painting and recently poetry writing. I am currently reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Poetry" so I hope to learn something from that.

My wife is Filipino and I spend a fair bit of time in her village "Cabuynan" in Leyte - a beautiful place. Have a look at: http://www.geocities.com/hammerartz/leyte/cabuynan.html
My first poems "Leyte Rain" and "The Chapel of St Francis" were inspired by the beauty of Leyte.

I have also been inspired by my mother Muriel, a prolific writer of Christian poetry. Have a look at http://www.geocities.com/hammerartz/muriel/ .
