    About this ebook

    This is a collection of poems that I have compiled over a six month period to provide a "time-lapse" record of my existence. Things I have felt, thought about, everyday occurrences to the more bizarre events. Hobbies, duties, spirituality and an awareness of environment in all its forms will hopefully be conveyed here. If you have as much pleasure reading these as I have writing them, or if they were thought-provoking, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.

    Sam Cullingworth

    I'm a paragliding, bodybuilding, acting author with not enough time to do all the crazy things in life I want to. After a hiatus of some 28 years, I wrote this book out of a father's love for his child. Having got the "desire to write" I wish to connect with other writers and promote my book, as well as continue writing. Life has been good to me, despite breaking my back in 2006 in a paragliding accident, I recovered to compete in the Pro Mr World championships in 2007, and have made a full recovery. Various film parts, and a few commercials keep my life varied. More recently I have undertaken to get involved in training stroke victims and assisting in their rehabilitation. More to come as I progress! :)

      The Man in the Moon - Sam Cullingworth

      The Man in the Moon

      I suppose I'm a bit of a goon,

      'cos I live in the Moon.

      But it's not all it's cracked up to be,

      cold and grey, no water in the sea.

      As my life ebbs and flows, I hang on tight,

      and bask in the Earthly light.

      I don't say What on Earth! anymore,

      does it matter? I'm a bore.

      Deep in the moon's large crater,

      sad and lonely, though I'm not a hater.

      Staring at the Earth, feeling anger,

      I realise I've dropped a clanger.

      Staying up here with the Moon,

      I talk to her, she thinks I'm a buffoon.

      Washing my clothes in Aitken's Basin,

      going crazy, a pretend ideal life I'm chasing.

      Does it make me feel better? Yes,

      I don't have to dress to impress.

      Frozen in space not time,

      Face scrunched up like I'm sucking a lime,

      Though all I eat is cold porridge,

      Enjoying the preview?
