The written word - dabbling with bits of writing - poems and lyrics;short stories and innumerable started but unfinished plays; interior design - rooms, houses, colour schemes; theatre, live music, pub quizzes,chess, current affairs but now disillusioned with politics; travel - especially to non - touristy places, drinking pints of Guinness while attempting the Times Crossword in a nice pub somewhere; eating but not cooking; solitude of coast and country but love the buzz of city life as well;love musing on anything to do with time/space/black holes/neutrinos/parallel universes - see what Einstein said - imagination is more important than intelligence - all these thoughts keep me awake at night.......to die without knowing - the biggest, saddest tragedy of life.....

About me: Hello, I am Serenwen and I like to write poetry mainly for my own pleasure, but occasionaly enjoy the privilege of having my words heard by a wider audience.
If you have the time, please take a few minutes to listen to my lyrics 'Man Alone' on the accompanying video by Dave Dark and the Sharks........ Tom Robinson, musician and broadcaster kindly offered to read the words for the track.
Thank you for listening.
(p.s. Seren Wen is White Star in Welsh)
