Poems

Through his passion for racing, Henry Birtles has found a style to capture the heartbeat and humour of the sport with no-nonsense poems in a traditional style. His poetry evokes without confusion, reaches and reminds, resonates and paints in words some of those moments and characters that have defined the sport of racing.

If you think poems should make you feel - feel without complication or a need for interpretation - Birtles is your man. In rhyming verse his poetry captures the imagination of the reader and effortlessly mirrors all the beauty, elegance and excitement of the racing world, both modern and historical.  Although racing is Henry’s major passion, he has also written poems on a wide range of subjects including cricket, harvest, the World Cup, as well as touching odes dedicated to friends and family. There is no subject this modern-day bard cannot turn into lyrical and engaging poetry.
