Hi, this is a hobby page for poems I've memorised and poems I've learnt.
Excuse the lack of pretty pictures - I didn't want to keep you hanging around too long....

You can link to my other page, Mike Crowl's Scribble Pad, where you'll find a sampling of the columns I wrote over five and a half years, some reviews, and short stories, or....

to my shop's Web Site, the place where the real hard yacker goes on, or....

you can stay here, where the focus is on poetry, especially
the poems I've been memorizing
over the last few years, or...
some poems I've written over the last decade...or...  
there's one other poem I'd like to share with you, a poem that's not even well known in its own country, in spite of it being the text for a series of paintings by one of New Zealand's greatest artists, Colin McCahon.  

Nothing's said till it's dreamed out in words
and nothing's true that figures in words only.
