Through These Eyes
Flight is borne when wings dance upon the invisible…when they embrace the open air as their partner…and that lyrical movement has the power to move your soul. If God gave such power to birds to affect the soul, I think He gave much more to mankind. And if mankind wields this powerful gift of lyrical movement through the written and spoken words, then it should be used for good as well as to honour the one who gave the gift to start with. That is what this book conveys.
And every time a bird is born, it doesn’t really live until its wings have taken flight. Then it knows what it has been born for. It’s like a bird is born twice; the first time upon its feet, and the second, upon its wings. I too had to be born again. And I pray that the gift of poetry which God has given me, that I have used to author this book, may be used to introduce you to the one who is the Author of all things. And that you may learn to look to Him, who the Bible speaks of this way: “Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (KJVER)£3.50 -
Threads of Song
‘Poetry is a painting in the mind –
Without palette and brush
it mixes words into images.’PHOEBE HESKETH
This commemorative collection of poems by Phoebe Hesketh has been selected by her son, Martin Hesketh. The collection includes poems from the twelve volumes and collections of her poetry that were published during her lifetime, her poems for younger children and 38 late poems not published previously.
Although she started her career as a poet comparatively late in life, Phoebe Hesketh had shown great facility with verse from a young age, winning a prestigious poetry prize while still in her teens. Writing in a deceptively simple idiom, she gained many admirers over the years for the combination of intellectual rigour and emotional honesty found in her work and, in particular, for her precise and powerfully evocative descriptions of the natural world.‘Phoebe Hesketh is one of England’s strongest and most genuine poets.’ANNE STEVENSON

Thoughts Untethered
Poetry from a doctor?
Sounds unlikely?
Then do take a look.
This is a poet’s dialogue with life
The eternal tussle of joy and strife
The sojourn of mind across countless miles
Of human affliction, tears and smiles
Dreams, desires, aspirations and hopes
Bound by Love’s invisible silken ropes
Thoughts untethered cantering along Time’s sands
This is not a book but my soul in your hands.
Neeti works as a qualified Psychiatrist in the UK.
Her poems are born from her own experiences of life and from intimate association with human suffering.
She has been writing since her teenage years and has won several awards and accolades for her work.
This book is a reflective and intimate journey through both the agony and ecstasy of life and would be a wonderful gift for lovers of nature and soft poetry.

Thoughts from the Edge of Insanity
INSIDE THE MIND OF A MAD MAN.
I invite you to enter through the gates of insanity, to walk the long, desolate road of soul and sacrifice. Inside the mind of a mentally afflicted individual is sanity, but we run from it as a form of escapism. So we have no control. Put an end to the intense authority and enter the Thoughts from the Edge of Insanity.
Is this a picture of equality or inequality? Some do it for sensationalism, others for fame, some for fun. I do it because it’s my gift: to be able to compose words in a rational, intense instance. I hope my words appease your thought processes from my stimuli.
In this collection of poetry, I have tried to use a vivid description compelled by intensity as my inspiration to invite you readers inside my insanity and the mind’s eye therein.
Life is complicated and hard to make sense, so how do we deal with it? Each of us have our own individual way of dealing with it. So use insanity as stress relief and a painkiller.
Time locked away. It drove my inspiration. Thoughts from the Edge of Insanity possessed me and the result is this collection of poetry.
This substance is meant to be the mind’s Renaissance. It’s supposed to make you think: life, love, living and longevity. I believe that this poetic trip will not only inspire but heal as well.

The Wet Patch
You can read into the title of this book anything you wish. Some of my coastal friends on Magnetic Island, North Queensland, and some folks in our little town of Ravenshoe in far North Queensland—anything north of Townsville is far—have, without reading my poetic yarns, jumped to their own conclusions.
Some say, “You’ve written about our wet tropics and rainforest. Others say it’s about our ‘Big Wet’, a nice mild term for our cyclone season. Yet others have truly mucky minds.
What I will say, is that The Wet Patch along with all of the other humorous poems in this little book are true stories.The book is scattered with North Queensland colloquialisms. The characters, even those with silly names, are real people. Dave, who features in my poems, is my husband, David.
Hope you enjoy the book as much as I did living it.

The Way I See It
The inspiration for writing poetry came from Sybil’s fathers’ story, which he wrote after her mother passed. Having left home at 13 she knew very little about her parents and initially was so enthralled with his story that she believed it would make a great book, but as she started to write found that writing in verse flowed much easier. Her siblings were also grateful for the writing of this first poem as they also had no idea of the early part of their fathers’ life. From there she found everyday life and happenings around her gave her material to continue writing.
Now retired and not having a mind cluttered with work, it never ceases to amaze her how these stories come to her and just must be written, often waking in the night, mulling over new poems, and having to quickly write lines down before trying to get back to sleep again. The local pastor has also tapped into this gift and she is often asked to write a poem to go with a Sunday sermon.

The Way and the Truth
“It is amazing how much information we absorb and retain as we develop and experience life – often listening to lectures or informative television programmes. It could be attending classes of subject interest, taking exams and more. Vocabulary expands all the time and what a place technology now has. People throughout history have been so clever and talented, inventive and artistically creative. I do hope these poems, based on the Bible, will be of help and interest, and food for thought for many, many people.”
