5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016
I have read several novels by Tom Benson, all of which I enjoyed so I took a dip into his world of poetry knowing I would be in safe hands. I literally picked this up just the other day and shipped it to the top of my reading list as I knew it would be a quick read and I was glad I did. Great fun in poems like Lovely pair and A Captain’s Log and indeed lovely humorous observation pieces throughout. Never taking things too seriously, here is a selection of poems for the everyman to enjoy. A writer clearly writing for the pleasure of the craft, each poem a mini tale well-conceived, entertaining always and sometimes just a little melancholic – but not too much. Overall a really fun collection. Pick this up if you enjoy poetry and then go find any number of Tom’s excellent novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars It will make you smile
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2014
This anthology of thirty poems has the feel good factor. All the poetry is in quatrains, with clever line length shape. Each poem will bring a smile to your face, and is accessible to everyone. You won’t go away and think I don’t know what that’s about; having said that, each poem relies on the power of words, and is skilfully crafted. Some are a touch risqué whilst others rely on a play on words or innuendo.

There is a variety of subject matter, ranging from sci-fi, a riddle and a poem with a message and much more. If I’m being a little vague it’s because I don’t want to ruin your delight in reading this anthology by putting in spoilers here.

The book is well set out with links from the index to the individual poems and is excellent value for money.

My favourite poem is, ‘Ode to Bugs, the Bunny’. I won’t say what it’s about but have no reservation in recommending you take the time to read this book.

I'm not normally one for poetry but I thought I'd give this a go - and i wasn't disappointed. There's plenty of short poems to get stuck into and can't help but raise a smile (with the Star Trek one being a personal favourite. All in all highly recommended
