Book Cover & Preview Text
I am drowning
I am in the swimming pool and I cannot swim
I guess I'm a thicko who can't learn to swim
Thicko is an appropriate word
I am drowning
I have gone under
And I am out of my depth
And on the brink of death
I had decided you see
To get a feel for the water
I held my nose and put my head in the water
Then my legs gave way
I lost my balance
And I couldn't recover
I am drowning
I have gone under
And I am out of my depth
And on the brink of death

About the Book
Poet, Lyricist and Avon Lady is a collection of poems written over the past 4 years. Some of the poetry is from personal experience such as I am drowning which is about my near death experience in a swimming pool when I was 16 and my battle with depression. Alot of the poetry is from personal experience but I also take random subject matters such as neighbours from hell and drink driving and write about it. While the book can be quite serious at times there is also a lot of humour in it as well.
