Thankyous

Thanks to all people, nature, the environment, and life’s experiences that

have provided the basis for my inspiration to write poetry.

Some of the references about my poetry written by others refer to poems

which, I hope, you will be able to read in future publications.

A special thanks to my mother, my sisters and my father who showed a

great deal of interest and enthusiasm for my poetry in my early years... and

later.

Thanks to Nella, my wife, for enduring my ebullient personality when it

comes to poetry! My children have had to bear the same effects.

Friends and colleagues have not been spared in my pursuit of readers

and listeners for my poetry output.

Again thanks to one and all, including all those people who have been

involved over the years in typing up and putting some of my poems into

publications and for this book.

Thanks to readers, viewers and listeners of this series of books and TV

programs. I sincerely hope that your time spent in my company has been

worthwhile.
