Bob’s poems will paint a brighter picture of Luton
An author preparing to publish his second book of poetry about Luton says he’s trying to create positive images of his first home.
The former Middlesex University Spanish lecturer took early retirement so he could devote himself to writing.
And Luton has proved an absolute inspiration to this one-time Luton Grammar School boy.
“I had such a happy childhood here,” he said. “Luton has a magical quality for me. And even though it was quite a rough place when I was growing up, it taught you how to survive.”
Bob, who is married with two sons, launched Verulamium Press three years ago because there are so few publishing houses interested in poetry.
He has printed several books including Poemas A La Patagonia and The River And Other Poems, a translation of the work of Argentinian poet Andres Bohoslavsky.
Luton poems by Robert Gurney is available for £5 from Verulamium Press, 18 Icknield Close, St Albans AL3 4NQ. It is also for sale at the Tourist Information Office on the ground floor of Luton Central Library in St George’s Square.

Robert Burns – To A Mouse – Poem
Robert Burns’ To A Mouse presented by David Sibbald of www.robertburns.plus.com from his CD “The Greatest poems in the World.” set to photos of Scotland and edited by Peggy Edwards (AKA Peigi McCann).
To A Mouse.
On turning her up in her nest with the plough, November 1785.
Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim’rous beastie,
O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee,
Wi’ murdering pattle.
I’m truly sorry man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth born companion
An’ fellow mortal!
I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen icker in a thrave
‘S a sma’ request;
I’ll get a blessin wi’ the lave,
An’ never miss’t.
Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
It’s silly wa’s the win’s are strewin!
An’ naething, now, to big a new ane,
O’ foggage green!
An’ bleak December’s win’s ensuin,
Baith snell an’ keen!
Thou saw the fields laid bare an’ waste,
An’ weary winter comin fast,
An’ cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro’ thy cell.
That wee bit heap o’ leaves an’ stibble,
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou’s turned out, for a’ thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter’s sleety dribble,
An’ cranreuch cauld.
But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!
Still thou are blest, compared wi’ me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An’ forward, tho’ I canna see,
I guess an’ fear!
