A collection of poems aimed at the more mature reader covering the ‘joys’ of growing old. As usual, most of the poems are saft, but I have also included a handful of more serious pieces. There is also a small section of poems about the Covid Pandemic.
Where to buyThis is a second book of poetry aimed at the younger reader, although I think it should be safe for adults to read under the supervision of a responsible child!
This is a collection of poems written in the Black Country dialect. It may seem rather daunting to try and read poetry in what, after all may seem like a foreign language for those not familiar with the region, but fear not, there is a helpful translation of words at the end of the book.
Griff is a stone dog. That is to say, someone has taken a lump of stone and carved it into the shape of a dog, or to be more precise, a Great Dane. It is the kind of thing that people buy to put in their garden as an ornament. Griff, however, is different from the normal dog made of stone, because he can walk and run just like a real dog. Also, unlike a real dog, he can talk.
This book of very funny poems directly from the mind of Johnny Mogs. Described as both quirky and insightful this collection will entertain both adults and children. It reminds us all of those endless conversations we had as children on matters of life and death. What's it like to be a dung beetle? What is the point of grass? Shy sharks, binge eating monks and other assorted subjects. Great for everyone and a real joy to read.
