SILENT VOICES ON PAPER WHITE

About the Book

“Pick me up,” my poetry calls, “I will tell you tales versed in rhyme and rhythm.” Let me begin with an avatar called woman. Sense her dilemma as she moonlights in RED. Become aware of her as she tantalizes you in HUSHED IN MY THINK – THE WOMAN IN ME. Experience her sensuality in SUMMER RAIN. An aura of haunting calm surrounds a river in flow. Resonating chants BY THE GANGES evokes a sense of peace and serenity. Eerie the silence of a loom in an abandoned room speaks of a bygone era and a forgotten craft in THE WEAVER. A photographer clicks a picture of an unknown girl. He feels a psychic pull in her eyes. One day he reads about a girl who is found mysteriously dead. It is THE GIRL IN THE PHOTOGRAPH. In THE PIGEON MAN AND HIS SOLDIER BIRDS I verse lines against a backdrop of the devastating World War One. Carrier Pigeons played a vital part as they proved to be an extremely reliable way of sending messages. The pigeon ‘lofts’ with their ‘Pigeon Man’ advanced with the soldiers. Every person has their own story, yet an echo overlaps. I express these stories through my poetry and as my lines unfold I realize there is a bit of everyone in all of us. So …..Don’t stop, keep the pages turning, it doesn’t end here. I will leave you to discover the rest
