Book Cover & Preview Text
Here is an example of the style of poem you will find in my collection of short poems for long days.
JUST WAITING.
Coincidence can take you in very many ways.
Remind you of tomorrow through a dream of yesterday.
The perfect time for meetings and parting, so it seems.
Is hidden in the writing and the lines that lie between.
The lines that unconnected wait to meet again somehow,
quietly whisper coincidence as chance her mask lays down.

About the Book
Short poems for long days has been in the making for several years. Within the book you'll find 44 original poems chosen from over 80. Written between 2001 and march of this year. Covering what is intended to be an interesting, thought provoking, understandable and comforting look at the lives we lead. The poems are in 4 sections covering topics such as our search for meaning, thoughts on time, friends and people. Then finally places, I hope my "ode to bed" will make you smile and among other things theres a reflective look at 7/7. As you open the book you will find the left hand side page left blank apart from neat corner borders and every so often a fitting small illustration, drawn by my own fair hand. I hope you will use this space to write some of your own thoughts and memories. Finally the opening pages will offer my dedication, a few things about myself and a forward.
