about the book

From a celebration of the harsh but beautiful Pennine landscape to soft, evocative memories of past times and a celebration of nature, this collection offers something for every taste.The poems cover a wide range of subjects from the heartbreak of lost love, to pen portraits of people and everyday occurrences as seen through the eyes of a child. All will provide lines that will stay in the mind long after they have been read. Some will be thought-provoking or prompt a wave of sadness. Others will bring a smile in recognition of the keen observations of the mundane occurrence of our daily lives.“But you no longer share my dreams And spent passion has replaced my mystery.”Disillusionment“We hate the supermarket queue When people stand too close to you And tut if there is some delay Or think you take too long to pay.” The Supermarket Queue “My bleak boulders and black tarnsReflect the brooding darkness of your northern skies.”Pennine Landscape
