YET ANOTHER 31 DAYS IN MAY

Bonjour,

It's that time of year when we are arriving at May and a month of raising awareness for M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and other chronic illnesses. 

This year, once again, I'm aiming to raising awareness and better understanding of my illness M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) through my poetry. I'm also aiming to raise funds for the charity Invest in ME Research.

With that aim in mind I've compiled a selection of mostly short poems for a new book to be available in May 2026.

This is the third book of poems that I've self published expressly in May to coincide with awareness month. My first book of poems was entitled '31 days in May' and published in 2019. My second book of poems was entitled 'Another 31 days in May' and published in 2022. This, my third book of poems, is entitled 'Yet another 31 days in May'.

Each book includes 31 poems - one for each day in May. Most of the poems are short and easy to read. My poems are about living with M.E. and attempt to express the harsh reality of living with this long term chronic illness.

I will be donating all the proceeds of the sales from these three books in May to the charity Invest in ME Research. I have a Just Giving Page for that purpose here

All my books are available on Amazon in both paperback and kindle versions. They are also available in most countries around the world. 

Here is the link to my books 

In previous years I've also shared one poem each day on social media from my books. But that takes a lot of my energy and so have decided not to do the same this year. 

However, if you buy any of my books you can read one poem a day throughout May. 

So please support me and Invest in ME Research. 

Thank you 

À bientôt 

The French Femme
