Afternoon Tea Barbara Burgess

An eclectic mix of fine poems. Poems to make you laugh and poems to make you cry. A sad poem about a dog. A funny poem about 'manure' for want of a better word! A witty poem for people who love to show dogs. Poems about love and 'love lost' . Poems to excite you and invite you to want to read more poetry and maybe encourage you to write your own poems. Poems about life and poems about death. Praise for - A Show Dog's Lament - "Very good Barbara. This is a witty portrayal of 'it's a dog's life' but also explores the relationship between humans and animals. Plenty of magazines publish stuff only half as good as this." Praise for - Autumn Leaves - "Simply effective, Barbara. In four stanzas you've captured the essence of reflection and nostalgia and your use of metaphor in the final verse is particularly good."
