Nuclear war was ever present and we had only just left the cold war behind which was the impending threat. Spontaneous emission is captured within the title as a war that could be triggered by spontaneous events.

This has become quite a craze for women in general, but also some guys want the benefits of this novel way of fitness. I don't blame them! The ladies have it sussed. It was inspired by a certain Zumba lady, who unfortunately didn't want to subscribe to the cover of this poem so it has gone to another Zumba lady..

This Poem is about the art of cold swimming, and it is an art. You need eventually to be able to breath properly, and pace yourself in cold water, timing is all important, observing the seasons as to how much your 'own' body may take. We're all built differently, some of us have seal skin ;) others paper. But we can all enter cold water for our own purification and enjoyment and that feeling of being blessed.

The Wolf poem was inspired by William Blake's "The Tyger". It has the same regular form & meter as "The Tyger".

The inspiration for this Poem, I think started writing initially after the title popped into my head. It seemed quite unusual and yet scintillating. I didn't really know where the 'road' was going to lead to.. I knew about 'out of Africa' for the human race, and realized that that was what I was aiming for. Many African nations where 'gifted' mobile phones or very cheaply from the old used stock in the early 2000's and that was the return point to Africa - Namibia being the early tribesman - their region being where humanity is supposed to have sprung from!
