Thoughts from a Faraway Place

£10.99

There are different ways of telling life stories; this book is about my stories in verse with truth and honesty and also with humour and pathos. So much is true to human behaviour, whether it is the cones on the road or thoughts about people’s inability to see their own shortcomings. There is a part of me that finds something humorous in a word or a sentence which leads to a story with a twist, such as in a sentence in the first verse which includes the words ‘blubbaldy-blobaldy-flibadyflob, flibbady-flobbady-boo’, sometimes following a word with another similar word and letting them follow each other until I find an end. Finding words and meaning has been therapeutic tool for me in a time when I needed to say something, even if that something was nothing.

Description

There are different ways of telling life stories; this book is about my stories in verse with truth and honesty and also with humour and pathos. So much is true to human behaviour, whether it is the cones on the road or thoughts about people’s inability to see their own shortcomings. There is a part of me that finds something humorous in a word or a sentence which leads to a story with a twist, such as in a sentence in the first verse which includes the words ‘blubbaldy-blobaldy-flibadyflob, flibbady-flobbady-boo’, sometimes following a word with another similar word and letting them follow each other until I find an end. Finding words and meaning has been therapeutic tool for me in a time when I needed to say something, even if that something was nothing. PROETRY It may not be what you expect, a word that is never used, a neologism, with the help of a little entrepreneurialism, must gain respect, as I suppose, what I write is not prose, but it rhymes and chimes like Moet, though I do not consider myself a poet, so with pure probity, I call this work, ‘Proetry’.
