Synopsis

Reading and writing poetry helped the author through some difficult times when he himself was receiving therapy.Writing poetry or indeed any form of creative writing can help the troubled mind to express deep emotions, to focus and to organise thoughts. It is also a pleasurable and satisfying process that is good for self-discovery and self-esteem. Poetry is increasingly used in healthcare as a recognised therapeutic tool. It is particularly helpful for those suffering from trauma, addiction or just an inability to express feelings.Words are the physicians of the mind diseased (Aeschylus C480 BC)Many people who are introduced to poetry as therapy discover a new and exciting interest that can produce life-changing results.The author wrote these poems over several years, as therapy and for relaxation. He says; "publishing one’s poetry is an act of breath-taking vanity for which there is no possible justification. I do it because I can and to show others that it can be done. The public of course, can choose to ignore. The pictures are nice though."
