To Browse the individual  Poems or Pages Simply go to the right hand panel and click on individual items within – RECENT POSTS, PAGES, or ARCHIVES

Within PAGES,  if you click on CATEGORIES/GENRE , this will lead you to the poems of specific types of theme.  So if you are interested in e.g poems on Contemporary Issues – just scroll down till you reach that heading and then click on  any of the titles in that category.

The poems cover a wide range of topics including Nature and Seasons; Places; Philosophy, Theology and Politics; Science; Industry and Commerce; Humour; the Outdoor Life; Events; Ideas; Contemporary Issues in Life etc.

I have tried to be perceptive and reflective in  what I write but any views or opinions are fundamentally my own although I am often influenced by what I read, see and hear elsewhere.

Take your time to browse the poems and I hope you find them interesting and enjoyable.

I have added a number of pictures and other images where I felt it appropriate.

I hope you enjoy browsing the poems and if you like any perhaps you will pass on to others the link to my site  :  thebardofkelvindale.com
