    About this ebook

    Two hundred new poems from David Sanders including:

    Just to the East of Despair

    Just to the east of despair
    Is a land of devil-may-care,
    A place to go when nothing is fair
    Just to the east of despair.

    Your chances to dismiss
    This potentially harmful abyss
    Are better if you forget what you miss.

    Just to the east of despair
    Is a land of truth-or-dare,
    A place to go at the end of an affair
    Just to the east of despair.

      Apr 2, 2020

      Waving goodbye, I couldn’t believe how well the two of us got along. ‘It was great meeting you,’ I smiled over. You wouldn’t believe just two hours before we were perfect strangers. It was 1994 and we’d just met at our local leisure centre – spending

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
