Sue’s Photo prompt.
I found it quite hard to think up something for this one, but here goes!
A family
There once were three
Now there’s nothing leftA calamity
Took their dignity
And no one has confessedA community
presumably
Are now feeling bereftFutility
They cannot see

After all this time, finally, you can buy/download a copy of my new Poetry Book, Poetic RITUals, on Amazon UK, Amazon.Com, Amazon – India, Amazon – Australia, Amazon – Canada. The paperback edition is available via Amazon UK and Amazon.com, and from the European sites at the moment, the rest have the Kindle version available.
The Kindle version is available for pre-order, to be released on 29th June 2016, as that is my son’s birthday, so if you would rather get the digital copy, there is a little wait.
But if you are bursting with excitement, and NEED to get a copy in your hands click the above Amazon UK or Amazon.com links.
Poetic RITUals, my first poetry book, is filled with a variety of verse, inspired by family, life, love and laughs.
Please take a dip, and enjoy my rhymes.
If you do, please be sure to leave an Amazon review!
I’m dying to know what you all think!
I got the proof copy in my hand today… it feels surreal!

Well, after months of deliberating, and weeks of to-ing and fro-ing, I am finally ready to announce that my first book, an anthology of my poetry is almost ready for publishing!
Here is the finished cover, lovingly produced for me by the wonderfully talented Story Reading Ape, Chris Graham!
I’ll be back with more information with regards to the publishing date.
I have spent an age on formatting the Kindle version, and am just awaiting the paperback proof copy!
Ooooh! I am so excited!!!!! And I had to share it with you!
Please let me know what you think of the cover, and the anthology name!

A stench, not so fresh
Is lingering in the air

The freshly cut grass
blowing pollen through the wind
