Treading Water Cheryl O'Brien

My second collection comprises of three chapters. In Love I have included lots of different aspects of love from a wedding prayer to poems about lost and unrequited love. In People, there are some humorous poems and some that are more serious reflections on people, their lifestyles and their professions, borne out of personal contact or observation. In Myths I have fun with medieval legends: stories of knights, castles, and a few myths and legends thrown in. Since I was a child, I have been intrigued by the story of Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, the magical Excalibur and the romance of Ladies and their Knights.
