Portrait of Joyce by John Drudge

Holding his hat
And ash plant stick
Twisting words
Around the bush
It was with
Great gasps of want
That the devil tipped
His drink to lip
And washed away
The circus




John works as a clinical social worker and is the president of a national disability management company. He holds degrees in Social Work, Psychology, and Rehabilitation Services and has studied philosophy extensively.  He is an avid traveler and a long-term student of the martial arts holding a 3rd degree black-belt in Kempo Karate. His diverse educational and experiential background gives him a broad base from which to approach many topics in his poetry. John currently lives with his wife and two children in Caledon, Ontario, Canada.
