Reflections 2: Poems and Verse

By PJ Questel

I have always been quick to compile words in stories. I have already had a book publish: Reflections Poems and Verse - FarMor Publishing Company ISBN
978-0-9767862-7-6

I am a Primary School Teacher and the book was inspired by the lack of detail in the children's writing that I experienced while marking their stories.

I started the story so that I could get them more engaged. I got engrossed in it so I completed the story hence the need to have it published.

I live in Leyton, London, England and have been leaving here for the last 35 years. I am originally from Trinidad but I am a British citizen.

I am divorced but have been living with my spouse for over twenty years together with a daughter of 13 and a son aged 21.

This is my second book created from a ‘story opener’ session during a lesson. The start of the story was written as an example to inspire children to use their imagination to write their own. I felt compelled to expand it further and once again, enjoyed indulging in the limitless possibilities of writing fiction.

A Winter’s Morning

Winter morning creeps in with its

Chilly, windy breeze

Like a shadow roving alone

Caressing temperatures

To beyond point freeze

Sunny morning with icy mud

Crystallized leaves reflecting

From the frozen trees

And the frost nips

As the snow gracefully appears

White cotton like invaders

Flowing from a bright

Birdless sky.

Britain Is Frozen Over

Like thieves in the night the silent assassins

Artistically recreates all in their path

As if commissioned by authority to portray

Brilliant white landscapes.

Did God sneeze asks a
