    About this ebook

    Some poems about loneliness. It is the loneliness of middle age and living alone despite having material possessions. Somebody looks down at the valley from his hilltop home, he waxes lyrical about the things he has or doesn't have, how he has done well though not a big success and how age has changed him.
