Beschreibung
These poems range from the nonsensical, through reflections on personal experiences, to comments on the state of the planet upon which we all live. During a long lifetime, diverse interests or specific events—either in the author’s personal life or in the wider world—have led to an emotional artistic outlet being sought in the composition of poetry. The work leads off with a limerick. This is exemplary of the style usually followed, namely one based on rhyme and rhythm. The bulk of the work is in English, but the author’s interest in foreign languages—and having spent time abroad—has led to a few forays into the wider linguistic experience to be found in other Western European cultures. So it came to be: For better or for worse, release the hounds of verse. There is no intention to educate, but it is hoped that the reader might sometimes be amused and sometimes be provoked, or even perhaps inspired. The poems are in no particular order apart from that of the alphabet. They are followed by a notes section, giving information on the timing and circumstances of each poem, and, occasionally, supplemented by illustrations. Two of the latter are cartoons by Luke Pearson, the author’s grandson.
