The twenty-seven poems in this little book represent the majority of the poetic works written by the author between 2005 and 2008. All were composed in Kenya: some in the City of Nairobi, some in rural Meru, where the magnificent Mt. Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa, appears shrouded in mist on the Western horizon; one by beautiful Lake Naivasha, perched high up in the stunning Rift Valley; most in the tranquil atmosphere in Lamu, on the North coast of Kenya, where a generous helping of creative inspiration is bestowed upon anyone who dares to stay there for more than a few days! Two were written on scraps of paper with a jittery pen, in a dreamy state, while the bus rattles and jolts along the rough highway from Mombasa, bound for distant Lamu. The majority of the poems in this volume have a message, some subtle but most of them the message is clear.
