    About this ebook

    These Poems Don't Rhyme.

    This bundle of 17 poems explore a lifetime of emotions from love to heartbreak, and happiness to pain.

    A rollercoaster of intensity from the heights of Moonstruck to the depths of Dungeoned Deep.

    Lost & Found
    Chronic pain and coping.

    Swingtime

    Go 'Gen
    The curiosity and energy of little children.

    Waning
    Living through life's ups and downs.

    April Fool
    Fool's gold of love.

    Another Day
    The joy of becoming a parent.

    Dream Machines
    Longing for the end to ringing in the ears.

    No Promises
    The end of a broken romance.

    Blessed Babe
    A baby's enjoyable days.

    Saintly Love
    The pain of unrequited love.

    Dungeoned Deep
    The darkness of depression.

    Gaia's Garden
    Care and protection of Earth.
