Knickers with a Twist
In Mike Stenson’s Knickers with a Twist, life’s everyday occurrences, observations and imaginings are detailed in rhyming verse, all with a dash of humour, and often with a hint of self-recognition! The interesting ‘twist’ in this new collection comes with the individual preambles to each and every poem, hinting at the source of their inspiration. Some poems are inspired by a single but true occurrence observed by the author, others by snippets of overheard conversations, or just pure imagination; all have been blended with humour to spark that personal inner thought that ignites our imagination. This collection of humorous, and often exaggerated, observations of everyday life will appeal to readers aging (as the poet puts it!) from teens to termination.
