Bio

Nairn Kennedy is an expat Scot living happily in Yorkshire, and despite having lectured on Software Development, has still retained most of his sanity.

He has kept up a long-standing interest in poetry, and so far has been published in Ambit, been shortlisted in the Ilkley Poetry competition, and highly commended in the Ledbury one; his alter ego (aka Bungle Rochefort) can be spotted occasionally in the Written Word group in Second Life.

Other interests include (very) amateur violin-making and much recreational programming, with the occasional bracing walk in Yorkshire air.

Shoots
surge
like green
tides bursting
seawalls, foaming leaves
pouring blooms across the floodplains,
baiting us, before
they slyly
wither
like
vows.
