Poetry Born of Water

A collection of over 60 poems on the theme of water. The first section of the book deals with largely inland water and waterways. There is a section containing several sea shanties followed by a collection of maritime poetry. As with other examples of this authors work there are hidden meanings and more than one poem is allegorical. The author, who was born less than 300 yards from the North Sea, has drawn on experiences serving in the Royal Navy, and subsequently sailing more than 23,000 sea miles, including a further 6,000 miles of inland waterway navigation. With a Grandfather who served time as a ship's Captain with a Master's Certificate in sail and steam, one could almost say that the sea was in the author's blood.
