Portsmouth Poetry

Posted in: Artwork, Poetry

I’m thrilled to announce the completion of my latest side-project, Pompey Poems! This fun, Portsmouth-themed book of short stories is packed with quirky characters inspired by our vibrant city. From the cheeky Southsea Seagull to the stylish Gosport Gannet, each poem is a playful tribute to local spots and personalities.

Whether it’s the laid-back Albert Road Toad, Colin the crafty Canoe Lake Crab, or the proud Palmerston Pigeon, this poetry collection will bring smiles to all faces. Meet a few Local Legends below that live in and around Portsmouth.

Designed for your children, Pompey Poems is more than just a book – it’s an adventure! As kids follow these characters around Portsmouth, they’ll encounter charming stories full of imagination, humour, and a bit of local pride. For the budding writer or artist, there’s a special section at the back of the book for you to create your own Local Legend!
