    A Life In Rhyme: People Poems

    About this ebook

    A Life In Rhyme - People Poems is the third book in a collection of rhyming story poems I've written over a period of years.

    None of them were initially written for book publication, but I have received such encouragement from friends and family about them, I've decided to compile the verses into four different titles.

    Book 3 introduces you to friends and acquaintances and the story poems I've written for special events in their lives.

    I've changed the names of all the recipients but not the actual poems, and each unique verse is like a mini This Is Your Life set in rhyme,

    I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
