Poetry for Company
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 11,610. Language: English. Originally Published: April 12, 2023 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
These are poems that have been chosen from a collection of over 1,000 poems and they have not been previously published. As in life's experiences the subject matter changes randomly. Five sad poems in a row would not in my view be a good choice. Descriptive poems in this collection will be understood by children, but the allegories might pass them by, without a nudge from a perceptive adult...
More Poetry to Reflect On
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 12,030. Language: English. Published: April 8, 2023 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
Book Description. Another anthology of eclectic poems from everyday subjects and the odd historical theme. The poems are written in an accessible style and all of these poems are of the traditional rhythm and rhyme variety. The wide variety of subject matter is a deliberate plan, and in reality, the choice of themes is endless. These poems have always been primarily composed for the enjoyment...
Poetry to Reflect Upon
Price: $2.00 USD. Words: 11,220. Language: English. Originally Published: April 2, 2023 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A collection of traditional poetry in rhythm and rhyme. Most of these poems are set within the last fifty years and derived from a variety of subject matter. Although composed in a manner to be readily accessible, double meanings can often be found which will of course change the whole thrust of the poem, if they are not recognised. Some of these poems are purely descriptive, others are written...
More Poetry in the Round
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 11,250. Language: English. Originally Published: November 21, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A further collection of descriptive and people poetry written in the traditional rhyming and scanning format. There is once again a wide range of subject matter, including several poems with links to Sports and even Sports Medicine in a light hearted way. There are several Limericks, often suitable for children, at the end of this collection. As always the emphasis is on entertainment.
The Poetry of Roses
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 6,870. Language: English. Originally Published: September 28, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A collection of traditional poems on the theme of Roses and illustrated with Rose pictures. Possibly the largest collection of Rose themed poems by a single author. Metaphors and allegories allow for hidden meanings for the reader to interpret for themselves. At first sight almost all of the poems may, however, appear purely descriptive. As with all poetry books this collection can be kept and...
Poetica Amoris
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 12,120. Language: English. Originally Published: December 5, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A collection of Love poems. Not all love poems are immediately recognised because the allegorical content might mislead the unwary. Whilst Love is known to be a truly profound, heartfelt emotion the fact that it is so often misunderstood in real life, means that some readers might not notice that an apparently descriptive poem about a rose, is actually an allegory describing a sweetheart. This...
More Poetry for Thoughtful Folk
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 10,190. Language: English. Originally Published: October 25, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A further collection of poetry covering people poems and descriptive verse. These poems are derived from personal experience and the experiences of friends and acquaintances. Very few of these poems describe situations that have never happened! Hidden meanings result in different readers interpretting poems in diverse ways, inevitably influenced by their own experiences in life. I know exactly...
Poetry for Thoughtful Folk
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 9,000. Language: English. Originally Published: October 21, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A book of traditional poetry that will be found thought provoking. There are plenty of hidden meanings and the occasional allegory, whilst many of the poems are descriptive. There is a section containing War poems, when writing these the author had the very uneasy feeling of not being alone. Poems that would have normally taken several days to compose were written in less than thirty minutes...
More Poetry of Many Things
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 10,390. Language: English. Originally Published: November 14, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
Another eclectic mix of traditional poetry, on many different subjects. There is no particular theme and the poetry is often descriptive and also with the usual hidden meanings. As ever, once the verses are in the reader's mind the reader will inevitably interpret the meaning in their own way. Whilst most of the poems are developed from the author's life experience none of the character's can...
The Rhythm of the Trees
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 7,440. Language: English. Originally Published: October 12, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Themes & motifs » Nature
This is a traditional poetry book of over 50 poems on the subject of trees. Poetry about the Natural World is very pleasing to write. Trees live their lives often in annual cycles that are individual stories of their own. Their whole life is shared with we humans who may both use and abuse them. Fortunately there are humans who respect them and care for them for the enjoyment of all of us. Some...
The Poetry of Flowers
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 5,990. Language: English. Originally Published: October 16, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
The poetry of flowers is a pleasure to compose. Traditional rhyming and scanning poetry seems very apt for this subject. Whether it is garden plants, house plants or 'weeds' all types are represented here. Roses are not included here as they are covered in a seperate rose poetry book by the same author. Included are several photographs appropriate to the subject matter.
Poetry for Pleasure
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 11,700. Language: English. Originally Published: November 12, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A further collection of traditional poems on subjects ranging from Bell Founding to A Railway Scrap Yard to a Washing Line! One or two poems are allegorical, hidden meanings abound, and personal experience makes for believable experiences. The female perspective is used here and there.The mystery of love is touched upon but covered more fully in a collection of love poems taken from eight of...
Poetry in the Round
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 11,010. Language: English. Originally Published: November 4, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A further colection of traditional rhyming and scanning poetry. In common with other poetry releases by this Author, these poems are accessible to the reader. The subject matter is very variable to keep both my mind and the reader's mind agile. Hidden meanings are of course to be found. A female perspective has been used for several of the poems. There are several 'people' poems to ponder over...
The Poetry of Birds
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 16,580. Language: English. Originally Published: October 31, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
This book is one of, if not, actually the largest collections of Bird related poetry by a single Author. Most of the Birds described are British and European Birds, but they have close cousins in North America. There are one or two interlopers from elsewhere. Even the humble cockerel has Far Eastern jungle origins, but is now global in its distribution. Observing Birds soon shows them to behave...
An A to Z of Animal Poetry
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 8,510. Language: English. Originally Published: November 9, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
This collection of Animal Poems is quite literally an alphabet of Animal Poems with at least two poems for each letter of the alphabet. The first animal in each section is accompanied by a photograph borrowed from the Wikimedia Creative Commons Library with permission, and with attribution also to the author of each photograph as recorded. Much of the poetry is descriptive with some inevitable...
Poetry Born of Water
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 15,290. Language: English. Originally Published: October 6, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A collection of over 60 poems on the theme of water. The first section of the book deals with largely inland water and waterways. There is a section containing several sea shanties followed by a collection of maritime poetry. As with other examples of this authors work there are hidden meanings and more than one poem is allegorical. The author, who was born less than 300 yards from the North...
Poetry of Many Things
Price: $2.99 USD. Words: 10,280. Language: English. Originally Published: November 17, 2020 by James Hathersage. Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
A collection of Traditional rhyming and scanning poetry covering a wide range of subject matter. The meaning of the poems in the main and in individual verses is left very much up to the reader, rather as the reader of a novel paints their own pictures of the characters, only loosely guided by the Author's description. I accept that the true meanings in the individual poems is completely out of...
