I remember my mum telling me this story and I also still have the cuttings of our poems from the Yorkshire Post. I don&#8217;t actually remember writing poetry, ever, but clearly I did. Sis got a book of her poetry published years later but that&#8217;s another story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the phone calls came. From the kiddy fiddler in the making. Telling my mum not only what he&#8217;d like to do but what he had done. Of course he hadn&#8217;t but it must have been extremely worrying for my parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They stopped printing ages, names and addresses in the paper after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a box of aged and smelling papers but I cannot find the above cutting, though I can see it in my minds eye. It is somewhere.&nbsp; I did however find some poetry by sis printed in our school mag when she was 10 and a dreadful little story about visiting Skipton by me. It&#8217;s also gratifying to know that in 1975 I won the junior art cup. Bizarre. My recollections&nbsp; of that time have nothing to do with art or poetry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So me and sis are little kids and we write poetry.
