The poems which have the most feeling are often the poems written about loss. My writing often helps me through the grieving process. As I see writing as therapy for the soul. Writing poetry about my lost loved ones, often turns into a beautiful tribute to who the person was, to me, and others, who are close, to them. You will find poems in here about lost friends and family members. Parental death is one of the hardest losses to try to cope and move on, in life, with. After losing both my parents, my father only recently (September 2000) and a couple of my siblings, I wrote how I felt in each instance. Death is always tragic and sad, no matter how the person dies. I've also included a few poems I've written about celebrities, whose death has inspired me to write about them. These pages are dedicated to those I've lost, particularly my mum and dad.
