Part of 1000 poems by Dan Byrnes

An updated/recompiled presentation of Poetry - some rewritten in minor ways
Not yet all of poetry by Dan Byrnes but growing -
Move on in series here for: Poems from No. 700 to 800
Move on in backwards series here for: Poems from No. 600 to 500

For your information ...
Dan Byrnes, born in 1848, has been writing poetry since his late teens and is now aged 74. He has had relatively few poems published in Australia but those published are so marked. A few of his poems have been published in USA and are so marked. He decided a few years previous to 2018, why not try to leave behind 1000 poems? A round 1000?
One result is this presentation of poetry. Enjoy. - Ed
