Poetically Speaking - an Anthology Joanne Hayle

Publisher Marketing: Poetically Speaking - An Anthology has been compiled from my 2014 poetry e-books: Curious?/The Little Book Of Holiday Poems/Time For A Coffee Break/It's Christmas! Curious? is a collection of poetry about love, relationships, romance and attitudes to life, its funny and inspiring moments. The Little Book of Holiday Poems is a tantalizingly light hearted look at holidays/vacations and travel using acrostic poetry. Think sun, sea, sand...and snow. Time For A Coffee Break is ideal for a tea/coffee break, for time spent on the train or bus, the dentists waiting room or as a quick lunch time read. Celebrate life, love and friendship in verse. It's Christmas! contains poems on the humorous aspects of the yuletide season. There are 12 poems (think 12 days of Christmas!) Treat yourself or someone you know to a helping of festive cheer. Excerpt 1: He felt her love linger, live on In his casket of memories she thrived Ivy, his once constant companion Often, when the sad echoing Silence was quietened, mind still His heart would hear her devoted call From above in heaven's great skies Excerpt 2: Arriving three hours early at Departures In the throngs and queues you take your place Rush through check in, expectant smile on face Purchase the presents, Gran's duty free gin Or play at plane spotting, wing after wing Run to the gate, yours, the furthest away one To board the vessel of purpose, wishes and fun Sent from up above to deliver you to seas of azure. Excerpt 3: Dear Farmer Jones, Ho ho ho and off we go! With the 'snips and sprouts we'll not pout With free flowing gravy fresh from the spout Love (Yeah right) Tommy and his turkey heroes! Poetically Speaking is a book of poems that should suit every reader. Please enjoy. Contributor Bio:  Hayle, Joanne I have a positive blog about O. C. D. P. T. S.
