    About this ebook

    We all live in age of abbreviated words, sign language, chit and chat and high speed messaging, some people have decided not to live in this world of worthlessness.
    This indie poet takes you on a journey through fact and fiction, real events and fantasy, carving out poetry that drips off any tongue, every dark corner holds a splendid surprise, every cobweb will leave tears in your eyes, you will be swept through mystery and greeted by ghosts, eaten up and made toast, all your friends are in here.
    A very refreshing collection of poetry that blasts down boundaries and steams up your dirty windows. A must read ebook.
