Stephen Fry admits that he has “... a dark and dreadful secret, I write poetry. This is an embarrassing confession for an adult to make”. He makes the point that almost any endeavour can be enjoyed as a pastime but somehow poetry, with few youthful exceptions, seems to be beyond the pale.

Although a widely published writer of many forms, for Fry his poetry is a purely private diversion that fulfils a wide range of needs for relaxation, confession and more. The beauty of writing poetry is that it is inexpensive and can be enjoyed anywhere.
