    Mu Pi Chan

    Mu Pi Chan was born in 1959 in a house that was then in the County of Essex, but which now lies within the London Borough of Havering. He was brought up from a very early age just outside Southend-on-Sea (Essex). He spent three years at the University of Kent at Canterbury (Kent), and has subsequently lived In St Albans (Hertfordshire), Guildford (Surrey), and Romsey (Hampshire).Mu Pi Chan has released a number of volumes of poetry (through Project Gutenberg) covering the period 1973 to 2019. Most of Mu Pi Chan's poetry is inspired by the world around him, particularly the natural world and the people of which he is fond. Other sources of inspiration are the works of other poets and books on philosophy, science, and religion. His poems include a number of parodies, jokes and poetic aphorisms based on these readings.Mu Pi Chan firmly believes that writing poetry allows him to release the thoughts in his head which would otherwise drive him mad.

      Consolidation - Mu Pi Chan

      Part 1 - Three Lines

      (2000 - 2009)

      Black bat

      How you dance

      Above white water

      (23 April 00)

      Damp thoughts

      The rain cries

      Against the windows

      (26 April 00)

      Sunshine

      How bright

      The walls across the street

      (17 June 00)

      Beneath a starless sky

      I walk

      With heavy heart

      So low

      The horizon

      Is only millimetres away

      You can get lost

      How white your face

      And long your tale

      My way now clear

      A foggy frosty path

      Which takes me home

      The floods are less

      So carefully i pass

      By roaring water

      The world

      Suddenly lighter
