John Dougherty, Poet

John Dougherty

"A nice, natural style and a real feel for language and rhythm" Tony Bradman (poet, anthologist, reviewer & author)

About the poems

Every school visit I do
Includes a poem or two
It’s fun to rhyme
From time to time
Although I do have some poems that don’t (rhyme, that is)

This is John Hegley
He writes poetry and he’s fab. I once went to one of his gigs and he asked me to get up and read one of my poems (I’d been to his workshop in the afternoon). I did a poem called Why Doesn’t He Ask Me.
