Moments

£7.99

Gently breathing, sleeping sound
Cuddled up and curled around
Fantasy dreaming, excitement now
As little twitches, noises aloud
So, I watch, and really wonder
What magical place, or spell you’re under
Let me in, I’d love to share
Must hug you now, as do so care
Comfort, warmth and love from mother
But careful, not awake the slumber

Like many of us, Daphne Denley is a fully signed-up apprentice of mid-life mayhem. She is a mother trying to adjust to her daughter’s grown up tastes. And she is a loving wife who has had her life turned upside down by her husband’s devastating diagnosis.

This collection of poems is an autobiography in verse. In turns heartfelt, familiar and beautifully observed, Daphne explores each of life’s Moments – and in the process shows us how, even in the worst of times, hope can return in the end.

Moments is a stunning debut.
