The Honest Poet

By Angela Jane Stocks

Angela Jane Stocks has sold everything from wet fish to property. She was told many years ago that she could sell ice to the Inuit, so she is confident therefore that she can also encourage readers to buy her book, and that her poems will relate to many episodes that may have happened at sometime in their lives. Angela hopes the readers will relax and sink into the magical emotions that she portrays through her poems.
She has learned how to write poems slanted towards any genre, which resonate and play on people’s heartstrings, and bring real emotion and memories, which relate to life’s comings and goings. She feels that her poetry is unique and so very different to how readers presume poems to be!
Here’s a brief glimpse of a couple of lines from one of the poems, which relates to all of us in our lives because without friends, where would we be? Let’s dangle the carrot and give you a sneaky peek. You know you want to buy the book – it would be rude not to!
“Friends may come and friends may go
But it’s all about the seeds you sow.”

Dedication

I would like to dedicate The Honest Poet to my husband, children, stepchildren and family, who have encouraged and inspired me to write my book of poetry.

Also remembering my dear Grandad, as my first written words were down to him.

ForeWord

Writing this book was a little more difficult
