Synopsis

First Collection is a first book of collected poems written by Joseph Dawson, and sons Ricardo and Marlon Dawson. Many of the poems in the book are amorous in nature. They are, in the view of the writers, every man's expression of thoughts and feelings encountered by the young and the old, lovers and would be lovers. The situations they unfold are the stretched imaginings of the three and perhaps some real events in the passage through the corridor of life.Poetry, in its broadest sense is a written expression in verse of the poet's imagination and is adorned by rhyme and rhythm in a setting we label as style. Poems can be as soothing as music or any other movement of grace and form of body, or language or both. This book tries to emulate and conform not so much to any fixed standard but in a manner that can be said to be in 'popular parlance' and should find acceptance in an audience of people who generally like to read.

About the Author

The author, Joseph Dawson, whose pen name is Jay Dee was born in Kingston, Jamaica WI and immigrated to this country some twenty years ago. He has an associate degree, is married and a father of three sons, two of whom has work included herein. Many of these poems were written years ago when his wife's absence away from home prompted the exchange of letters and ultimately his answers in poetry.Poems such as: 'I heard sweetheart that you have found and fell in love with someone new' was no more than an imagined stretch of jealously. Again there is the line 'I want my wife ere the puff of life be ta'en from me' tells of the void left since she has been gone.This work, a First Collection, includes poems by my sons Ricardo and Marlon are expressions, of thoughts, feelings and emotions on the many nuances of love. We hope that our readers may be able to find a poem that relates to some experience of their own.This work is dedicated to my wife, Winona
