My Thoughts in Words

About the Book

The book is a collection of poems I have compiled over the past 30 years. Each poem expresses my feelings to life experiences, as they happened through the years. The titles cover many topics ranging from my deepest feelings to washing machines.

About the Author

My name is Darrel Mark Jackson, born 16th of October 1959 at Fairwood Hospital, Swansea. I am the only child of Darrel and Norma Jackson. I attended Cwmtawe Comprehensive School in Pontardawe. I began my working life at Craftdene furnishings and later Remploy for 28 years, before it closed. I began writing poems in August 1976, when I submitted a poem in a song writing competition, sadly I didn’t win anything, but I've never looked back and continued to write poems.
