Willing Words is a collection of poems about the process of writing, finding inspiration and the satisfaction of completing a poem. Amongst other themes it champions the use of poetry forms and rhyming; examines the physical discomfort of writer’s block and explores the force that compels poets to poetize.

In sum, it is an ode to poetry, and features versions of various forms including the elfchen; golden shovel; rhupunt; sestina; sonnet; than-bauk and zejel. "Willing Words is a lyrical tour-de-force: an ingenious approach to redefining the trials and triumphs of being a poet.

Sharron’s immaculately crafted rhyme combines great insight, elegant imagery, and masterly use of poetic form and structure". Sarah Drury“Willing Words has a gentle humour, at times funny, at times resonant of Pam Ayres.

It is also an exposition of what can be conveyed through rhyme and a full use of poetic form. ” Karen Izod "I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed looking through this clever and immensely entertaining collection! It should be available on prescription for aspiring poets, or poor old poets who are at the end of their tether trying to get a poem out of their heads and down on paper.

There were a number of lines which made me feel like punching the air, shouting, ‘Sharron’s expressed beautifully what I’ve been mumbling about for years!’" Heather Cook. .
