In the first three volumes, the period of time covered by each book reduced from nine years down to six months. In this book, the time period is only three months. It is during this time, that I was writing at least one poem every day. As you can imagine, a large number of poems were written over a short period of time.

In this volume, we traverse the Christmas - New Year period and there are a couple of poems relating to this festive season. There are two consecutive poems talking about jigsaw puzzles. Of interest, at the time of creating this book, I wondered if they both should be included. As you can see, they passed that test.

That is enough from me. It is hoped that you find what follows of value, of interest, and worth pausing and pondering.

I now invite you to read Volume Four of “The Definitive Collection.”
