Travelling Light

A collection of 56 poems, written in various styles. The majority are free verse. I have four other poetry books: 'Kaleidoscope' - 119 poems, written until 2010; 'Life's Rhythms' - 316 haiku, in the traditional pattern of three lines with 5-7-5 syllables, written from 2011-12; 'Mind-spinning Rainbows' - 150 poems, written from 2013-15; and 'A Poem a Day' - 446 poems, written from 2020-2021. RAIN She sits and dreams of making rain in the dark, shadows dancing mimic colours of the aghast, sights and sounds, murmurs still breathing watch over the edge of everything. The glass splinters into a million shapes, cast in myriad lights bright and sparkling, dancing in the spring sun. Here she dreams of making rain. It tears and crashes, washing away the shards of glass, splattering the colours rent with droplets of ice-cold nothing. Cuts and caresses, spikes of grass peeking through, clouds gathering dust.
