Early Praise for Rhymes For The Mind ""A lovely, worthwhile and comforting collection. It shows a wonderful range and gives the reader plenty to choose from, with solace and encouragement for all kinds of mental and emotional experiences. It's poetry with purpose, offering a guiding hand back to joy and contentment."" Liz Kendall ""In this uplifting latest collection, Sharron Green's poems brim over with natural warmth. Light, sunshine and the hope of spring burst through these heartfelt verses. Upbeat and positive, they remind us that the glass half-empty is also always half-full, and that life can be a magical gift, if only we choose to recognize it. Here too is a poet who revels in rhyme and structure giving us a dazzling tour of poetic forms ranging from circular pieces that joyfully 'loop the loop' to skilful sonnets. Sharron celebrates the ordinary routines and everyday spaces we all inhabit and encourages us, with much charm and wit, to look at the world with fresh eyes and embrace the wonder of it all."" Jeremy Loynes ""Beautifully woven-Sharron Green is a wordsmith of rhymes. Have a cup of tea with her and her poetry book. Sit down and drink her 'Forget-Me-Not tea' and fall in love with her rhymes as I did. Her words are poignant, her poems ease the mind. Life is about all the emotions-about the sad and beautiful alike. She plays with forms and words and invites us to 'dip a toe into the dunes'. We dive with her into the ocean 'no need to choose a port'. I feel free while reading. Sharron speaks to my heart. And moves me gently."" Miriam Otto
