I was going to post some pictures from my recent holiday today, but I received the preview cover from my publisher this morning and so decided to run with that. Hence the delay in posting.
Here it is, alongside the first book.
These books have one poem to be read each day for a year. Here is the blurb about Book 1.
Take a lyrical journey through the first half of the year with V.M. Sang’s FROM JANUARY TO JUNE.
This anthology captures the essence of everyday life, nature, and the world around us through the versatile medium of poetry. From haiku to narrative poems, and the humour found in limericks, From January To June is a diverse collection of poetry.
A calendar in creativity, a diary in verse; this collection is the perfect companion for daily reflection and inspiration, providing a poem for each day that resonates with the diverse experiences of life.
And a review from Amazon.
5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and unusual, a unique blend of poetic styles.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2023
I thoroughly enjoyed this unique collection of poetry from V M Sang. I say unique because it’s rare to find such an eclective collection of different styles, forms and subjects in one one book, all by the same author. From Haiku to full length poetic pieces, covering a wide range of topics from the weather to personal feelings and the rare beauty found in the more mundane, everyday events in the poet’s life. Definitely something for everyone and I have no hesitation in recommending the book and giving it a 5 star review.
Here is a poem from Book 2 to whet your appetite. It is the first poem in the book, dated July 1st.
It’s deep into peach season, so I wrote this in honour of that delicious fruit.
Peaches
A peach with skin so soft.
Breathe in the sweet scent
As to my nose it wafts.
Made just to tempt.
Bite into the flesh.
That scent did not lie
The flavour is so fresh.
That I cannot deny.
Juice runs down my chin.
The peach is so sweet
It must be a sin
To enjoy such a treat.
The book contains many poems of different types, like the first one. I will keep you informed as to when it will be released. It should be sometime next month.
