I have republished my two collections of poetry under a Creative Commons licence on pages here. I may redo the original PDF versions in the future.
It has been a good exercise, if a little more time consuming than I had hoped, but I have learned a lot about WordPress templates in the process.

Moira sits in the close drinking Buckie,
drinking the day away.
Watching the cars pass by,
on the street where she used to play.
Moira sits on the corner drinking Buckie,
drinking the week away.
She doesn’t know how she got here,
she likes it that way.
Moira lies on the bench drinking Buckie,
drinking the pain away.
The price and the cost,
get steeper day by day.
Moira sits in the close drinking Buckie,
drinking her life away.

Notes:
In Glasgow a tenement stair is known as a Close, example here.
Buckie refers to Buckfast Tonic Wine, information on wiki.
