Phil Ward Biography
There aren’t many poets that would write a whole book on humorous poetry. The Bright Side of the Coin, ISBN 978-0-9575136-0-0. You’re reading about a light hearted author who likes to see the funny side of life.

My heart skips a beat when you turn on your smile,
Cos I haven’t seen you for such a long while,
Those little wrinkles on the side of your nose,
Are the cutest signs of our love that grows?
...
Perched high on a cliff overlooking the sea,
A black-headed gull was peering at me,
I’d come to meet some old friends of mine,
At a place that I love where I can be free.
