I am exploring my creative side by writing poetry. As I write them, new poems will be published at Peter Phillips: Poems.

Below are links to my three most recent poems, and to older poems previously published on this site. I am experimenting with different styles of poetry. I don’t know how good any of my poems are, so I’d appreciate your comments! Much of my poetry is inspired by nature – birds, flowers, insects, and the things I observe when I’m walking. And my writing is also influenced by my Christian faith.

If you’d like to be notified whenever I publish a new poem, please subscribe here.

Thanks, Peter.

My first poetry book ‘Poems from Poole‘ was published in July 2023, available from Amazon in paperback or Kindle format.
