This is a collection of verse I have written over 70 years. Margin notes to a life. My first attempt at verse was in Grade 5 in our one room, 8 grade school, SS4B-Drury. The next effort, Creeping Death, is from a Grade 10 English assignment. I have generated many verses expressing thoughts and feelings since those early efforts. As I say, they are margin notes to my life.

Don Hayward grew up at a hydro-electric generating site on the Spanish River, surrounded by the natural world of the Canadian Shield hard rock country. The experience of the north has influenced Don's feeling for the natural world. During 1970 ? 71 he backpacked in Australia. Returning to Canada to study photography, Don met his wife Diane in Toronto. The family ran a small part-time farming operation in Dufferin County as Don commuted to his job in the electrical industry. Don and Diane now live in Goderich Ontario on the shore of Lake Huron
