My book of poetry was inspired by the courage and fortitude of others, people of my acquaintance, people who became close friends, and also several relatives whom I admire, especially my late 86 year old Mother who fought a brief but very brave fight with cancer, which unfortunately she lost.
My very small sister-in-law was a rock to my poor brother, during his unbearably long illness. She inspired me to write a poem about her.
The poems about the beautiful Canadian scenery are obvious; no where have I come across anything to rival it.
My poem about lonliness is self-explanatory; we have all experienced it I know. My husband made the observation that some of my poems are 'deep'. However, I do not think they are too deep to be understood.
Several people have remarked that my poems are sad. I took exception to this and replied that they are not all sad by any means; some of them are quite happy.
Readers may find my poems to be rather controversal but this is by design, because it is often through controversy that excellence is reached.
