Bob Perks an American has been emailing me now for 4 years and today Bob Perks is very excited and deeply honoured as an
American as his work and blogs plus emails have been made into a
Virgin Media Short Film funded by the British Film Council in London. Bob tends to write little poems that rhyme and scan and usually have a
message so I refer to his poems as "message poems" and I must admit they are cheerful as they about the fearsome nature of faith where we can battle any problem from climate change to cancer and win through in the end so its a /pick me up/sort of message poem contained within this film of Bob Perk's work.
A Londoner wrote to Bob Perks and offered to make a film about Bob Perks so today Mr Perks kindly emailed me a video short and the story line or narrative as we write is about a queue of people sheltering from the rain and they are suitably dressed for the weather even Teddy Bear is well covered - dare I say it Teddy Bear here was as naked as the day he was born and now sports an evening top of dazzling green with shoe string straps and now my poem "Teddy's Adventures" has been published in London in an exciting book title is :"Lyrical Laboratory - A Collection of Poems for Children" published in September 2009 by www.forwardpress.co.uk!
So its nice to get together with Bob Perk's success and join it with my success as a poet here in the UK particularly in retirement as now I am still an active poet and Bob Perks has a great short film online and congratulations to Bob Perks .. on funding from British Film Council and Virgin Media ... wow!
