I'm pleased to report that I've published my first book on Lulu. It's a short collection of poems about trains, over the past 25 years or so. It is also available in hardcover, complete with a wonderful selection of photos.
You can download the PDF here. It's under a CC, non-commercial, attribution, share-alike license, so please let me know if you do anything with it.

I am kenyan and can really identify with this part:-
leave Nairobi after dark
and arrive in Mombasa at sunup.
Clackety clack all night long
lulling you to sleep
across the dark Tsavo,
only your imagination to tell you
what all those
eyes out there in the dark
had behind them.
Over the rattle of the wheels
you might hear a hyena laugh,
or, if you're lucky, a lion roar,
and you might imagine a leopard cough --
a sound to strike terror,
