Book excerpt: You are the jingle in my bells The tick in my tock The flash in my light The spring in my time The whirl in my wind The tell in my tale You are the ever in my lasting The ginger in my bread The life in my boat It has to be said. While living in New York City, Alan Wright often visited a busy café serving a rich and hearty winter soup that warmed him on cold winter days. In his third anthology of poetry Wright compares the flavours of that delicious soup to the blending of a variety of poetic styles and subjects to create a pleasurable collection of poems to suit the tastes all ages. Wright’s poems capture real-life experiences while exploring past events and numerous small moments. Among the poems gathered here, he light heartedly reflects on the untimely death of Brutus the Budgerigar. He also shares some wheel bad news, the ride of the sky witch, the sad tale of Norman Neets, some secret conversations around a kitchen table, and all the reasons why science rocks. What The Poemster Found is a compilation of fun verse that provides a rollicking journey through the far reaches of a poet’s inspiration.
