This book is an attempt to return those to the fold of the written word. Many people ‘including myself ‘ had forsaken poetry because of some traumatic experience, beginning way back in the class room. This book will try to cultivate an awareness and return some appreciation of poetry.
The matter in this work will attempt to shed the chains of elitism, and bring poetry back to the people from all walks of life, all ages and all tastes.

Pondering
I wonder what this heaven’s like?
that many people rate,
I hope It’s got good fishing
and boating on the lake.
I wonder what this heaven’s like?
the one they all adore,
I hope there’s telle in the rooms
and heating under floor.
I wonder what this heaven’s like?
where no ones had the grace,
to try and send a mortal friend
a postcard of the place.
I wonder what this heaven’s like?
maybe you have to book,
when the power marks my hour
please contact Thomas Cook.
