My Life of Poetry: Volume 1

Selection of poetry from 1969 depicting everyday life for a Mother and Grandmother living in Coalville Leicestershire. Edith Freeman was born in February 1937, as an only child living in a rural community. She always had a passion for writing poetry for every occasion or event happening around her and in the world at large. In her poetry all her feelings and thoughts and emotions emerged, her way of telling stories or explaining how she felt about certain subjects came through these pieces. Her first pieces of poetry were written in 1969 and the family still keeps her original handwritten pieces. We have enjoyed reading Mamas poetry which brings back so many happy memories of her, as she sadly passed in 2014. We hope others enjoy her poetry too.
