About this book
There are various poems and themes in this collection. ‘Trophy Girl’
explores the superficiality of fashion. On the other hand ‘Reply from an
Agony Aunt’ is a cry for help from a young woman with low self-esteem. It is
back to childhood days in ‘Pinkeens’ and a beautiful description of the
garden in ‘A Summer’s Day.’
There is sadness in ‘Stopping Bye’ the house of her birth and the feelings
of a child is described in ‘Lost Child.’
Then there are several poems about birds and animals and their antics – the
greedy jackdaw, and the terns on Sandymount strand getting ready for their
annual trip south. The caring diligent cat in ‘Mother Cat', the huge
alligator with enormous jaws looking for food–which could be you, because
that is what you are to him. No smiles there, he is what he is with no
apologies.
‘Be Here Now’ the guru advises the reader to be in the moment or it is gone
forever. Then there is ‘Needen’ the playful donkey who surely lives in the
moment.
