Going Under Cheryl O'Brien

The subjects of this collection are Conflict, Children, Nature, and a Medley. Conflict, whether it's war, a terrorist attack or the aftermath of an air raid, pulls at the heart strings, we see so many reports on these incidents, they play on the mind and for me I use words to come to terms with the atrocities I see. Balancing the sad with happy times my verses on children focus on the joy they bring to our lives, which connects well into Mother Nature and how she shapes our lives with the seasons, flora and fauna all around us. The last part of the book is a smorgasbord of poems written over the last years.
