    About this ebook

    These poems are treating various themes, but in general, they all can be classified as lyrical poetry.
    Reflections about life and the human condition, love, passion, joy, emotional woes, deception and disappointment are the most important subjects treated.
    Other poems express love for nature, philosophical ideas and the unstoppable passing of time, and thus, life.
    As to form, most poems have rimes, and some are classical in form, but free verse and experimentation with sounds also play a part, be it to a lesser extent.

    Bruno Roggen

    Dear reader, Thank you for showing your interest in my work. It's an honor and a pleasure. I am Bruno Roggen, living at Anhée, Namur province in Belgium. After my teaching career I devoted myself to writing and studying. I would like to characterize myself as a story teller. That's why most of my writings are short stories. I occasionally write poetry and I also finished three novels. My subjects are diverse, but in general I'm always writing about "the human condition" and relations between people. I'm mainly writing in English. However, I wrote in French too as well as in Dutch, be it to a lesser extent. As to my present studies, I took courses in Creative Writing at Oxford University and at this particular moment I'm taking an on line writing course at Mt Jacinto University (Ca). Allow me to wish you lots of reading pleasure! If you would like to contact me, I'm on Facebook and LinkedIn. My email: brunoroggen@yahoo.fr

      Summer: A Love Story

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
