My friends keep asking me when I am going to publish my work, and so here it is my first published collection of poems Some poems are written in form, a few haiku and senryu, my own form the "Stellanette" and you might spot one or two others along the way. I have tried to include something for all tastes, a little romance of course, some thoughts on nature and life in general. A few nonsense and fantasy poems and the last section is dedicated to "Dickie Sparrow," the cheeky little bird of my own invention who is always having little adventures.. everyone seems to love him, young and old alike.
