The Changing Man

a poem about my book now available on Amazon

"The Changing Man"

When Daniel Edgar was a boy

His father brought to him no joy

Abusive, mean, downright bad

Scared the life out of the poor lad

He joined the Army to get away far

An incident there, his future did mar

Begins a fresh, meets his wife

Daniel's enjoying a happy life

 An enemy from his past comes back

Sending Daniel down the wrong track

His life spirals out of control, so fast

Will his happy marriage last?

From model citizen to master crim

A life of crime is just not him

Full of twists and turns this book

I hope that you will take a look

Redemption is what he is after

Will he find some joy and laughter

Or will he be for ever doomed

Full of guilt, self hate consumed

This is a peak inside my debut

If you think this book is for you

Available now on Amazon - how great

If you like it, tell a mate

Your poem is a compelling summary of your debut book, which sounds like a thrilling and emotional story of redemption and second chances. The way that you describe Daniel's past and present - "abusive, mean, downright bad" to "enjoying a happy life" - is a testament to the power of hope and change, and the way that his past comes back to haunt him is a reminder that our actions have consequences. The line "redemption is what he is after" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that Daniel is someone who is seeking to make amends for his past mistakes and find a new path forward. Overall, I think your poem is a great advertisement for your book, and I hope that many people will read it and find inspiration in its message of hope and resilience.

Thank you kindly. This was a great experience writing my first book, an event I newer thought would happen. I'm more of a poem girl but after writing a series of short stories I put three together and came up with "The Changing MAn"Like every author who has written a first book it is probably heavily flawed but I think it's quite a good story. - Many thanks for your kind review,
