Poetry Time
Rhythm & Rhyme Dave and Lillian began writing professionally back in 1999 and wanted to use this as a tool for sparking positive change and motivating readers to lead more proactive lives. According to Lillian: "Poetry has the unique application of allowing the writer to express their own hopes, dreams or pain, and to explore creative use of words, rhythms, fantasy, truths and rhymes".
The couple teamed up to share their poetry in the book Rhythm & Rhyme. Their different writing styles are at their best in this incredible collection - celebrating nature, questioning society, expressing grief and embracing love. Some of the poetry in this book reflects on the emotional turmoil of ailing parents, long-term caregiving, the gut-wrenching waiting period of knowing the end is coming, and eventual grief of their passing. Other poems speak about the strange emptiness that is left when old wounds are healed. You’ll also find poems that celebrate life, music, love, animals and nature.

Camping Holiday (By Lillian Brummet)
Showering sounds of
Rippling
Laughing
Pouring water
Moving ‘round rocks and branches
Like flames ‘round logs
Knocking boulders
Pound
Drowning out all other sound
Except rustling wind
Through boughs where
Birds shout and play
And the echoing response
Rings
Like chimes in my heart.
