This volume was created from poems written during a period when I was writing at least one poem every day. I did this for over 1000 days.

In this volume, we again encounter the Christmas - New Year period and there are some poems related to this festive season. There is a poem celebrating Australia Day. There are three poems talking about unofficial clubs, and even one talking about the knowledge of my former work colleagues. Like all of the books before this one, it is believed that there is something for everyone.

There are two exceptions in this book. At a late stage, one poem was replaced and another one was added. Both of these poems were written outside the period indicated.

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

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