Poetry from Ken Allan Dronsfield

Welcome one and all to my first book, "The Cellaring". Within these pages you will be host to many dark, haunting, paranormal and light humor and generally wondrous poems. Awesome for Halloween parties, camp outs and super bedtime stories for the daring. My work is not blood and gore, but rather some lighter horror genre and some different styles including prose, narrative story poetry, free verse poetry, humor and some delightful rhyming poetry as well. Take a few moments, review the titles, pick a few and have a wonderful evening with family or friends. My thanks for enjoying my work,Ken Allan Dronsfield

With a blend of Wordsworthian poetry style and contemporary American poetic voice, Ken Allan Dronsfield wonderfully weaves human emotions, mysticism and Nature's beauty as well as its harshness in his poetry. Zephyr's Whisper will undoubtedly keep on maintaining the balance of soft soothing waltz and strong challenging winds like effects on the hearts and souls of avid poetry readers of all generations Vatsala Radhakeesoon (Mauritian author/poet) An American Mihai Eminescu, Ken Allan Dronsfield always tugged at my heart. His poems are suggestive, imagistic and lined with subtle emotion. Reading this collection of poems, I did have the feeling that the Zephyr was whispering at me. Roxana Nastase (Romanian/Canadian writer/poet/editor) Whispers from the Zephyr Sugar cane flowing like ocean waves Florida winds blow as egret's hunt lunch tapestry woven in a wildness of saw grass buzzards perch high on branches of oak dragonflies rest on blades of palmetto unscrupulous clouds build to a zephyr horizontal rains pelt all within the glades saunters by quickly; sun now reappears. Spanish moss drips from Cypress trees curtains of humidity hold a damp grip songbirds fluttering, the gators cruising; in the great Florida sw& days roll by; a muskrat swims in the calming waters a pinkish haze envelops the twilight sky Great Blue Herons stand at stoic repose; Listen to the whispers from the zephyr. The poem "With Charcoal Black" won the Nature Poetry Contest. "The refreshing poem is a wonder-filled read and our judges enjoyed the journey!" - www.realisticpoetry.com
