I think Mr Gibson published his poetry on LP albums in spoken word rather than in print on the page, two of them I think. Try seach engine for his name and 'poetry albums', and see. <br><br>thanks,<br>dr.e Dear Mary, hello and welcome.

I wish now I had had taken the time to watch more TV in those days, but as a single parent and full time working mom, there just wasn't much time to spare. <br>I found the first poem delightfully funny. Reading the second poem, I thought he displayed much talent as a poet. I liked the musical yet natural, conversational flow of the poem. The imagery was fresh, vivid and to the point - and points were well made. Also intriguing were the complexity of his thoughts. I wish I could read more of his poems and I wonder if he published any.
