The Journey Home

The Journey Home is a collection of 100 poems written in the traditional poetic form of rhyme and time. Many of the poems are based upon true life experiences, expressions of desperation and struggle, heartache and heartbreak, in the remembrance or thinking of either someone or a beloved pet, some are as a result of a personal existing mood frame or purely based upon a factual point in time, some are political viewpoints or messages to those involved in the political system and a few are entirely fictional written simply from imagination.

All of the combined poems are a journey through life, my life or our lives and the words are uniquely portrayed in perfect poetic context in rhyme and time creating a journey through life. Each poem has a beginning, a middle and an ending whilst at the same time cleverly flows remaining on the subject matter without diversion. This book is the first book to express my mind's abilities to write truly poetically and not merely in prose, ode, or ballad form.

Self-contained structures, all simple, easy to understand and read, is the main aim whilst at the same time hopefully ensuring a message as concise as possible is given. These poems will be pondered upon undoubtedly and repetitively for years to come by those who enjoy the love of poetry. The ability to both relate and correlate will be experienced by the reader in not one of the poems but many of them.

The undying devotion to create and express shines throughout this book from page to page and poem to poem.
