In my spare time over the years, I have collated the enclosed poetry inspired by my mother, who also writes for a hobby. My first poem was in 1991 so, seeing as my last to date was in 2015, that is twenty-five years of hobby writing. I do hope you like my work and contact me with an offer of publication. I have spent a great deal of time on these works and need to feel appreciated. Thank you for your time with this matter.
