Description
This collection of poems, ranging from rhyming verse to twisted nursery rhymes, captures the emotions and thoughts people hide behind the masks they present to the world.
What thoughts are hidden
Behind her immobile face
Quite expressionless
Eyes cold and indifferent
Scrutinising me—awk like
This book includes some of Robbie Cheadle’s spectacular fondant art and cakes.
Behind Closed Doors by Robbie Cheadle 5/5
Unusual & Unique
I bought this because it was described as “A Collection of Unusual Poetry”. I like unusual and I wasn’t disappointed! The poems are generally short (lots of tanka, haiku and limericks) and each piece expresses its heart simply yet effectively. I was particularly impressed by Cheadle’s observations of life during lockdown in 2020. There is something in this collection for everyone. The poems are easily accessible and enjoyable to read.
