My World of Poems
This book is a compilation taken from Peter's first eight books. It is an excellent example of contemporary poetry looking at today's topics in an entertaining and often humorous way. It has something for everyone, and readers will either be touched or tickled by his words, and probably both. Peter's poems are a breath of fresh air. They are written for all, and his captivating and informative verses will bring many a smile to the reader and, perhaps, an odd tear. The thoughts he expresses are often those we can identify with and enjoy. His vision, humour and sincerity combine well to produce excellent work, and many of his poems have found their way into the international press as well as various T.V. and Radio programmes. Many of his works have been set to music and performed in Dance Halls, with one already finding its way onto CD, Video and Audio Tape. The 104 poems in this book are suitable for all ages and contain no bad language. They embrace the Ireland of yesterday with its legends and folklore, the Ireland of today with its computers and plastic cards, and touches on the pathos of losing loved ones, the emotions of growing up, the enjoyment of nature, the frustrations of religion, the joys of living, a hint of philosophy and much, much more. Copies of his books have reached all parts of the world where they are treasured and re-read many times.
