This is a collection of around a hundred poems on a wide variety of topics ranging in length from a three-line, Covid-era haiku to a tale in rhyming iambic pentameter nearly 150 lines long; from serious concerns like conservation and aspects of war to humorous verse and from descriptive prose to carefully crafted sonnets and a villanelle. Many of the poems contain observations of the natural world and reference to the ecological health of the planet. Rhyme is a device that is usually present, unashamedly so, but often only sparingly. The layout on paper is in some cases an essential feature to be considered for full appreciation of the poem. Unlike the 1st edition which was illustrated with about forty of the author's own artwork, there are no illustrations in this 2nd edition. This accounts for the considerably lower price.,
