Wendy Johnston, B.Ed, MA (Counselling Psychology) Secondary School Counsellor Be prepared for some good, insightful reading! In writing my poetry you will see that there is a wide range of topics covered. Subjects that pertain to love, illness, anger, spiritual matters and more. The second poem: ''Poetry, '' is really the basis for all the poems I have written. I quote from this one: ''To be able to reach out and touch your heart is all I want to do.'' My poems are based on my life experiences and how they affected me. There are some I know you will identify with and I trust bring comfort where needed and inspiration in the midst of life's trials. More importantly it is my desire that my poems have given ''hope.'' We all need this in today's world. Within the pages of my book you will find laughter as you read '' The Cat'' and '' Katie and Me.'' So enjoy my poems as you find inspiration, calmness, laughter and always hope! May my poetry leave ''footprints'' in your heart.
