This is the first volume of the collection that has been named 'Bluebells and Canvas'. 'Bluebells and Canvas' shall consist of volumes-- possibly hundreds, over the coming years-- of poetry, volumes that shall consist of poems that my wife shall write, and volumes that shall consist of poems that I shall write, and volumes that shall contain a mix of both the poems that my wife shall write and the poems that I shall write-- all fresh poems, of course, in each volume. Within this volume you will find a collection of poems that I have written. In this volume, I tended to focus a great deal on the beauty of Wales, the flora and fauna of Wales, and on philosophical moments brought about by the contemplation of said flora and fauna of my beloved Wales. David Boulton
