Where Roves the Mind, Whilst the Billy Boils

About the Book

In quiet times, a mind reflects upon the experiences time has given. Time spent by a solitary camp fire waiting for the water to boil is perfect for such reflections. They may be current. They may be historical. But they are as undisciplined as the smoke of the fire, the steam from the water rising randomly, driven by the breeze of emotion or the heat from those embers of life gone by. This is a collection of such reflections in verse.

About the Author

Described as ‘An Undereducated Overachiever’ by a Primary School Teacher he called a Sophist, Kg. Lyle is an only child, who grew up in a rural town. He ever sought to find acceptance in the wider community by trying to be what he thought was expected of him. He never achieved that. At 50 he started a new life. He became a student of Life and an observer. Perhaps that Sophist was correct.
