G'day all

[davedel1]

G'day, I'm David J Delaney (Dave) from down under in the land of Aus. I am a poet but have recently branched into memoire/short story writing, with one of my memoires already published in one of our larger universities journals.
I have self published 2 books of poetry in Australia & now with a 3rd, 100 poem compilation, titled 'Out of Australia' due for release any day now, my 1st published & printed in America.

I only started writing about 3.5 years ago & have never written any thing before this, my education was/is very limited & I was 15 years old when I reached 8th grade then left after 3 months to join the work force, already my poems have been published in numerous magazines, e-zines, newspapers, anthologies & 2 poems placed on youtube, I also like to perform my poetry, when asked, at different venues & occasions locally here in Cairns & I have recorded many for our local ABC radio station.

I primarily write rhyme, but, am enjoying gradually learning all the different forms of poetry including free verse, sonnets, Haiku & Tanka to name some.

I hope you enjoy my writings & please feel free to google my name.
