Poetry connects people through words, written or spoken.
Poems allow events, ideas, and thoughts to be encapsulated into these words and to bring the author mind-to-mind with the reader or listener.
These words express emotions, and feelings, and draw attention to particular perspectiveson life.
This collection came about through events, places and people which created an idea in the author’s mind and which were then transcribed into verse.
The poems became the Afterthoughts which stimulated the words, and often occurred while dog walking.
They are meant to be enjoyed, and occasionally to amuse.
They illustrate part of the author’s life, and some of the things which matter most to him.


Kenneth Calman was born and brought up in Glasgow, and has had a career in clinical and public health medicine and academia.
A collector of cartoons with a medical flavour, he has a passion for Scottish Literature, and loves gardening, golf, sundials, walking the dog, and making paper.
