If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On: A Selection of Poems for the Romantic at Heart

By Nicola Ward

I wrote these poems to provide a modern take on love and emotion. My love of poetry stems from the positive influence of my Grandad, who always loved reading and writing poetry. All my life he encouraged me to peruse my interest in poetry, and this book is the result of that.

I hope readers get as much enjoyment from reading the poems as I have had in writing them.
