A Bardic Melange

As a follow up to the debut collection entitled Assorted Musings, A Bardic Melange tackles various themes incorporating humour, limericks, solemnity and the author’s unique take on observed situations and experiences, some of which may resonate with the reader. Indeed, some offerings are personal and meaningful to the author who has no qualms about sharing his feelings and thoughts.

It is hoped that you will enjoy the author’s writings and take something away in terms of stimulating food for thought! As you will deduce, it is far removed from romantic poetry. Rather, it is very much contemporary verse written for today. Do enjoy at your leisure.
