If you are looking for clever words, designed to intrigue and make your head ache, then this book is not for you. The modern vogue recognises that poetry is a personal thing, and in full accord with contemporary poets, I pin my colours firmly to the mast and present the love I have for words couched in rhythm and rhyme. My aim is to reach into the hearts of readers and make them feel the love and laughter, tragedy and pathos, and sentimental nostalgia which plays such an important part in the life of each ordinary member of the human race. There are no streams of self expression to be found here, or should I say that that was not my intention. Poetry is far more universal and is meant to be shared with joy and where appropriate, reverence. It is my fervent hope that you may find at least one poem in this little book which will inspire you to memorise it and carry it around in your head. To help you find the mood you are looking for, I have divided it into sections. We don't want to get bored dwelling on one subject for too long do we? Join me now, in our adventure into my world of words. |

| Thomas Vaughan Jones |
 |
Thomas Vaughan Jones has been a salesman, a professional soldier and a fire officer. He decided to study and write poetry when he retired. When he was a boy, Thomas loved poetry. His favourites were Tennyson, Walter de la Mare, Robert Louis Stevenson, and men of that ilk. Men who could make a poem come alive in rhyme and rhythmic verse. There is very little of such poetry around anymore. Free verse appears to be the norm, and few find inspiration in attempting to read, mark, and inwardly digest streams of somebody else's self ex-pression.
