Poetry and prose are as much about observation as they are about the romance or the travails of life. In this volume, the poems range over a number of topics, mostly concerned with the human condition, the world in vision, the harsh reality of parting and the joy that is love. Some of the verse within these pages is of a personal nature but there to be shared as much of human experience is enacted in the full view of the world. But whilst experience is there to be passed on, learned from and ultimately provide guidance, it is also, as Oscar Wilde so accurately put it, "Something one can do without!"
