    About this ebook

    Hello my name is Charles ORourke.
    I have been writing poems for many years, this is my fi rst
    book but I am very proud of this book. There is no denying
    that everybody has their own form of poetry and there are
    many different types of poems, mine however are personal.
    Some are based on incidents that have happened to me;
    others have happened to people that I know. I have never
    been good at showing emotion or telling people how I feel so
    writing poetry was and still is my way of getting my feelings
    out. I hope you enjoy reading these poems as much as I have
    enjoyed writing them.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
