Ah! You want to know a little about me, then. Well, get some coffee to stay awake and read on....I'm Graham, and live in Birmingham , England. I started my Realm in October 1999, and since then it's been a labour of love for me to expand it to new horizons. I look forward to sharing some poetry written by myself, also classic ones from writers. To accompany them, there are appropriate artwork and music on the pages.. I've always liked Pre-Raphaelite and Impressionist pictures, and so they feature heavily here. The poetry in my Realm can cover a wide area from Shakespeare to Arthurian legend. For any Enya fans, they will enjoy a lot of the background music. I used to write when I was young, but it had to be 'stopped' due to serious schooling. The internet has allowed me to take it up again. I'm sure a lot of people out there have done the same thing.
I enjoy theatregoing, movies, website building, poetry, reading and travelling. It's perhaps this last interest that makes me look forward to communicating with people from around the world, as I'm fascinated by how others live. I have been to the USA, Egypt, Italy, Greece, Russia, France, Cyprus and also on various cruises. Star Trek (Next Generation & Voyager) is my favourite tv show; the Godfather trilogy, The Hours, Pleasantville and the Lord Of The Ringgs trilogy are my most liked movies. I don't have any pets, but Minature Schnauzers are adorable! I haven't married yet, but who know what the future brings!
