    About this ebook

    Webster's Dictionary defines a poet as, "a person who writes or expresses himself with imaginative power and beauty of thought, language etc. " The ability to write poetry lies dormant in everyone but only manifests itself in some. Within the poet there are always at least two distinct schools of thought which are always observing, pondering and expressing themselves. As can be seen in this collection of poetic thoughts the author describes both beauty and the reality of the not so beautiful. The old cliche which says, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" inspired the title and is woven into the themes of these poems. Much beauty can be added to the realities of life by one's attitude just like the sugar that makes a bunch of bitter lemons taste like a sweet drink.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
