Book excerpt: From 1982 onwards i have used three lines poems as a way to record my thoughts and feelings about events in my life and the world around me. This book contains a selection of these poems from the years 1982 to 2019 culled from the decade collections for the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, along with some three line poems previously released in Part 1 of Consolidation. A small number of amendments have occurred during this process. This book was previously released through Smashwords. The books from which these poems are drawn were released in PDFs through Project Gutenberg and EPUBs through Smashwords.
