    About this ebook

    A collection of traditional poetry in rhythm and rhyme. Most of these poems are set within the last fifty years and derived from a variety of subject matter. Although composed in a manner to be readily accessible, double meanings can often be found which will of course change the whole thrust of the poem, if they are not recognised. Some of these poems are purely descriptive, others are written to be thought provoking, all are designed to be enjoyed.
