Poetry comes in many guises, it can be written as a profession, with the poetic correctness that complies, or by the everyday multitude who write about anything and everything, with no boundaries to contain their skills.
Poetry is often used to convey thoughts and messages that might not be acceptable in other forms.
For the many who write poems for the pleasure of self expression, it is often triggered by the desire to record situation or subject in verse, where it can be any combination of truth and fantasy, often bing left for the reader to interpret.
My poems have been compiled over many years, yet are mostly ageless: flowers that bloom to greet us will bloom again next year.
The attraction of putting a twist in the tale of a poem is always a temptation and a challenge, yet it can often turn sadness into laughter.
Poetry is the choice of the reader. . . I do hope that you may enjoy my humble compositions.
