    About this ebook

    The subject matter of my poems varies a great deal. Some of them come from experience, some from reading books, and most are those combined with my vivid imagination.

    They will make you nostalgic, sad, happy, and perhaps make you laugh a little too.

    Maggie Ager

    I was born in Plaistow in Londons East End seven months before VE day in Europe. A girl between two boys. I attended a local Grammar school and left there to work in a Bank. I had four other jobs before getting married and having two sons of my own . I started writing poetry when I was in my late teens and have written about forty over the years. I have been living in France for the last ten years but hope to move back to England soon.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
