    About this ebook

    Poems from the hinterland of the heart are a collection of thoughts and feelings reflecting daily emotions which constantly rise up to the conscious thought whilst trying to live a normal daily life. This is the first publication by Ian MacIver. Sitting in a tea room with a friend on a cold winters day. So much to say, and together they have come such a long way. These poems are a collection of the feelings expressed outside of the normal daily lives we all have to face to survive. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to enjoy the thoughts they may encourage.

      Joy

      May 5, 2022

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers

      Your Poetry

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
