The Wall
Created in 2023
This poem was inspired by an email that I received from a Prison Chaplain. A mutual friend had suggested that I send a booklet of my testimonies to God's goodness in my life to the chaplain, who in turn wrote to me to say she had passed the booklet to a prisoner whose cell window looked out onto a wall. I sent the chaplain a copy of this poem and again she passed it to the prisoner.
No man should have to look out at a wall;
My window is barred, no sunlight at all.
I know every brick, every crack in the mortar... © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2023

He aint a baby anymore
Created in 2015

For he grew up into a man; Thirty three years his life span.
He aint a human any more; He fulfilled what he came for... © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2015

The Artist
Created in 2001
I met an artist the other day
whose work quite took my breath away.
His windswept skies were mind-blowing;
his fields and hills were softly glowing
under the autumn light.... © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2001
