AS I THOUGHT

Here is a wide selection of poems reflecting the writer's travels about the world and through many years of life, with observations, sometimes humorous, sometimes cynical. There are poems recalling childhood in an age that is now history, memories of parents and the coming of war, of military service, the English countryside. The turn of a page can take the reader from nostalgia to moral contemplation to tongue in cheek humour. Verse forms traditional and experimental are as varied as the topics.
