I’ve written a few new poems of late – personal ones. What with having gotten the poems for people as gifts finished, it was something I was looking forward to doing. In the past week I’ve penned a poem about two dogs named Harry and Sonny living up in ‘The Manse’, Bandon; a poem for a new bride and groom getting married over in Bordeaux; a 50th birthday present for a friend of the family and a poem for a woman’s daughter, her husband and their very own daughter. Hopefully these new ones strike a chord. I definitely like them, and am starting to really enjoy re-reading, re-editing them. Enjoy.
