Memories from the Chest of Time

A Collection of Poems

As everyone knows, a poem is a fleeting moment in someones life . An event , a comment a funny shaped cloud ANYTHING can suddenly happen and then an idea forms in the poets mind and something is suddenly born. It might take another day of rewrites before the final effort is considered worth presenting to the friends and family of the poet . Iff the general concensus is favourable then the piece may be presented to the world . The contents of this book are composed of a large number of different happenings A lot of the poems have been liked and produced in separate publications but this is the first time all of them have been put together in one place so that the world can like or dislike them . Some are controversial some with tongue in cheek . some serious and a few written after the death of someone very dear , downright miserable . All have been written following a particular happening in the life of the author . To me a poem is a written thought . A fleeting idea put down on paper, a daydream made real .
