A Beneficial Bonfire
in Sonnet Poems
Rubbish in my head can smoulder on
creating smokey fumes which fog my brain
and when I think the murky clouds have gone
a few small sparks will bring them back again.

About Ann D. Stevenson
Ann D. Stevenson only began writing after she retired, when she joined a Writing for Well-Being course. It was during a difficult time, as her husband had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She found writing very therapeutic, more especially poetry. It was a real boost to her morale when Family Friend Poems began publishing her poems.
Ann was married for well over 50 years, but sadly is now widowed. However, she is lucky enough to have two happily married children and four grandchildren. She now lives in Hampshire in the UK. In the past, Ann has worked as a teacher, helped in a children’s home and spent some time as a PA.

A great poem and I absolutely love the last line. It reminds me of my poem 'Endless Summer', we obviously have similar memories. Very best wishes, Ann.
