Poems Under the Jacaranda Tree

Sixth in the series, this book is by no means

the last John says. As long as the fascination

with words stays with me, I shall continue my

dedication to improving my verbal self-worth.

The Muse has been kind to me, in spite of my

bipolar state (due to being raped in the

workplace some years ago). Writing has

been so very therapeutic since that awful day.

Such is my dedication that I work through

the night most nights. I greet the dawn in my

small study and long for the day when Writers

Block is no longer a problem.

I first discovered the delightful Jacaranda Tree

in Pretoria, South Africa, and want to thank

Malgorzata Budzinski for conveying her love

of this specific delight.
