      'I have always had a soft spot for nature, and admire views and the beauty of a place. I write with all that in mind. I start writing what I see or do, whatever comes to mind. Some of my inspirational poems have developed from these trips. 'I have always got pleasure from making these poems. They give me a lot of fulfilment, which gives me the inspiration to carry on. I hope that my poems will give you as much enjoyment as the things they describe have given me.' Susan Francis
