Dear Reader…

This is a collection of poems taken from some of me books – mostly favourites chosen by me readers, who like me, have had ME for many years.

With lots of love x

PS I hope they will be suitable for those who are severely ill and only able to read very little on a good day I’ve been there.

Scroll down for extracts and illustrations…

I Love Green

Drawing of green trees on a hillside
The green of hills and trees
Sprout, broccoli and peas
The triangles in Quality Street
Peppermint foot cream for your feet
The colour of bottles of gin
The foil they wrap Aero in

Cat Slippers

Pair of purple slippers viewed from above. A cat is drawn on them with front half on the left and rear half on the right.
I like to wear
Cat slippers

They are comfy
Make me smile

I need a nice
Long cat nap

When I’ve been up
A little while

Slug

An old wooden bed pictured from the side. A amusingly drawn slug lies atop beneath a cover with a flowery print.
I’m lying here like a slug
My herbal tea in a mug
I’m feeling quite sluggish
My mug is quite muggish
I’m snug as a bug in a rug
