John Ryan 
Poems Under the Jacaranda Tree 

Sixth in the series, this book is by no means
the last John says. As long as the fascination
with words stays with me, I shall continue my
dedication to improving my verbal self-worth.
The Muse has been kind to me, in spite of my
bipolar state (due to being raped in the
workplace some years ago). Writing has
been so very therapeutic since that awful day.
Such is my dedication that I work through
the night most nights. I greet the dawn in my
small study and long for the day when Writers
Block is no longer a problem.
I first discovered the delightful Jacaranda Tree
in Pretoria, South Africa, and want to thank
Malgorzata Budzinski for conveying her love
of this specific delight.
