Poems to Ponder Including Poet in Penury Francis Rawlinson

After an elementary education, I advanced myself in the military. I had commissioned ranks and held professional, trade and menial occupations.

I started on my poetry endeavours at the beginning of 1996. I had two booklets published. My first tentative attempts needed errata slips coupled with a number of flaws which I've hoped to have eradicated in this, my third booklet attempt.

I've had more than 100 poems in anthologies since the onset of my poetical undertakings, three editor's choice with the International Library of Poets. I'm a member of NIBS, Network of Impecunious Biographical Scribes, an Australian Writers' Circle. I've had a couple of short stories of a few hundred words each included in Network, a newsletter in conjunction with NIBS, and a short ghost story in Perspective, a short story book by Fition Today, Woodston, Peterborough.
