About the Book

This is a book containing poems that are illustrated with photographs, sketches and cartoons, mostly by the author. The many different topics included here are: Imagined Love Songs (dedicated to my Mum and Dad, who were separated between 1955-56, while he searched for a new beginning in America, from Scotland), Other Love Songs (some in foreign languages but with American English translations alongside), Hard Times (we each have them), Life (its ups and downs), Animal Friends (no explanation needed), Beloved New Mexico (The Land of Enchantment), Slaying Dragons (defeating health issues), and Other Musings (Geronimo, Billy the Kid, Casino Slavery, Dark and Deadly Woman (female vampires), Lozen, Battle of Franklin (a bloody Civil War battle in western Tennessee), Music, The Osprey, They Came to America and others. The book contains something for everybody: life, its challenges and its joys...its good times and its bad times. Some poems rhyme, some do not. A few poems (5) are written in Spanish, French or Scottish Gaelic, with American English translations alongside. Others are written in a modified (to make them more accessible) Lowland Scots dialect, but again with American English translations alongside. A glossary in the rear of the book is also provided. Most poems however are written in American English and should therefore be very understandable. This book follows Days of Innocence in style and format. All publications are available at www.amazon.com.
