    About this ebook

    For anyone familiar with my work, you may have noticed a pattern emerging; the shortening of my prose. This then, is something of a logical conclusion but with my poetry. Most of these short poems are barely three lines long; though not Haiku. I've been re-reading my work and I like my short poems better than my long ones.
