I
have written Poetry on and off all my life. However in
2002/2003 I attempted somehow rather different. I decided
to write a poem every day for a year. This task grew like
Topsy and soon my target was 1000 poems in a year, then
2000. I wrote to the Guinness Book of Records but they
would not entertain a record attempt as they said they
could not define 'a poem'. My own definition was it had to
have at least four lines, except for pre-determined forms
such as Haiku. In the year from August 30th 2002 until 29th
August 2003 I wrote 2171 poems, which I claim is a world
record. A very few of them are recorded here.
