This poetry came from my mind being set free with another digger over coffee and smokes while sitting in the back area of the Hollywood Clinic in Western Australia. It seems as though I have a creative mind when it comes to writing and enabling the release of thoughts to ease my mind. I was a Tunnel rat in South Vietnam in 1967 and 68, with 3 Troop, 1 Field Sqn, Royal Australian Engineers, thus the use of the Tunnel Rats logo. I had tried my hand at writing about my time earlier in life but was not really successful and then I found that I could express myself better
through poetry. I am happy to share my poems with others in the hope that I can help anyone who has a mental problem. Just one assist is all I need to succeed in my aim to bridge the gap between partners and friends.
