A Winkle in Estuary Mud: a poetpourri Kindle Edition

by Michael Wombat (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
Renowned storyteller Michael Wombat, author and editor of twenty-five previous books, brings you his first collection of poems that display his love of words and rhythms and slightly odd rhyming schemes.

This book contains a veritable poetpourri (sic) of variegated verses: storied ballads, rhymes to paint a scene, love poetry, poems of the supernatural, verses both funny and quirky, poems of nostalgia and memory, emotional outbursts and dreams both good and bad. There are haiku, tanka and villanelles. There's even a saga about a crisp factory. Dip in anytime and find a poem to match your mood.

A Yorkshireman living in the rural green hills of Lancashire, Michael Wombat is a man of huge beard. He has a penchant for good single-malts, inept football teams, big daft dogs and the diary of Mr. Samuel Pepys. Abducted by pirates at the age of twelve he quickly rose to captain the feared privateer ‘The Mrs. Nesbitt’ and terrorised the Skull Coast throughout his early twenties. Narrowly escaping the Revenue men by dressing as a burlesque dancer, he went on to work successively and successfully as a burlesque dancer, a forester, a busker, and a magic carpet salesman. The fact that he was once one of that forgotten company, the bus conductors, will immediately tell you that he is as old as the hills in which he lives. Nowadays he spends his time writing, telling tall tales in his bio, and pretending to take good photographs. You can have a good laugh at his blog or his photographs, but most of all please go and mock him mercilessly on Twitter or Facebook. Michael Wombat has published over one book. Other authors are available.

“Michael Wombat brought us to near tears by his short stories. He is a natural story teller.” – Diana Jackson, author of The Riduna Series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary, thought provoking poetry.
    Reviewed in the Netherlands on June 8, 2022
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a collection of contemporary poetry written by Michael Wombat over the years and what a joy! So much emotion and some of it quite heart breaking, some of it wistful, existential, and some amusing too.

    I'm not a big poetry reader. I studied it at school and college in with the curriculum, but much of that was dated or masked in terms that aren't fully understood anymore. This was fresh and contempory. Michael Wombat explains some of the forms he writes in, from Haiku and Tanka, to Villanelle. And he formats the poems on the page in unique ways which make it more attractive and interesting to read. The poems are divided into elements, grouping them together, which he explains in the introduction.

    It's hard to pick ones out, but I laughed at Dylan Thomas Is Not My Real Mum, and really enjoyed the rhythm of Four-beat Downbeat. And The Breath Before The Kiss tugged at my heart strings.

    If you appreciate poetry I would definitely recommend a dip into this.
