Publisher's Synopsis
In this debut collection of poetry Martin Bromley offers snapshots of life that are memorable, funny, and often poignant. It is a silly yet disarmingly familiar world, in which characters are brought to life with curiosity and humour. Word play and rhyme create a light-hearted look at the natural world that will have you imagining scenes, laughing out loud, and chanting along with familiar last lines. Many of the poems come from Martin's casual observations whilst out and about on his whimsical wanderings through life when travelling by bicycle or train. Journeying from an imaginative look at a cormorant's thoughts and considering whether flounders can play rounders, to a celebration of childish play, and ultimately to a thoughtful reflection of love and loss, this is a genuine family collection of poetry. Discover more about the elusive dinosaur, Sid the Squid and many more characters in this reflection of life that is distinctly more than mere stuff and nonsense.
