Opis

The book is a collection of 47 short poems and verses that I have written from encounters in both my working and social life. it is a mixture of both serious and light hearted verse with something to suite all tastes. In the early 1980's I was working with teenagers who, for various reasons found it difficult to react to normal daily living and I found that by writing verse I could connect. As I have grown older I have found myself going to Open Mic nights were people sing self-penned songs, or read verse that they have created, this has encouraged me to once again put pen to paper. This brings me on to my recent work which includes The Unsung Hero. This I wrote and performed at a fund raising night in support of injured service men and women. The verses are written to relate to the service men and women who come back home from conflicts with troubled minds and do not receive the help that that need or deserve. The first set of verses relate to myself and my birth, these I have written from the factual information supplied by my mother. From their, my mind wanders to all kinds of weird and wonderful places. People who have read my work have, through their enjoyment of it, encouraged me to bring together the verses in this book. I hope that you to will enjoy my thoughts and wanderings of my mind. In all poems keep in mind that they relate to us as living beings.
