Synopsis

My book tells diff erent parts of things that occurred during my life. Some things are interpreted, and other things are just thoughts. I guess you would say I have a variety of diff erent situations, which would range from fi ction, nonfi ction, fantasies that I daydream about or imagine could happen one day. I use diff erent things in my poems to describe how my life is and was; some are happy, and some are unhappy. Th ere are several parts of my poems that in some ways describes my feelings of when my mother past away. I also included my experiences of when I lived in the projects. I could have been more graphic about the things I came across with some of the people I saw and the things they have done, but that might have been a little too much to handle. I also described one of my poems as a tiny monster with claws, beneath the fl oors. Th at creature was a large rat, and that was a true story. My family and I had no choice but to live in that house due to fi nancial problems, because it possibly would have hurt my career if I left. Well, that's a short version of my poetry.

About the Author

I was born Keith Allen Gilkey, on the eleventh of March in 1962. I was born in Lincoln Nebraska, and my mother's name was Mary Lou Gilkey. I met my wife, Melinda D. Gilkey (maiden name was Davis), in 1985, when I was in the United States Navy. She was a single mother of one, my son Richard S. Davis. They lived in Jacksonville, FL. I fell in love with her and her son-which was why we got married nine months from that day, and then a year later, we had my beautiful daughter. We named her Emma Victoria Gilkey. She was born on the first of October in 1986. For my education, I have an associate's science degree, which I received in 1994, from Florida Technical College in Jacksonville, FL., My course was Computer Electronics Technology. I decided to take a different avenue from, and now I work as a civilian police officer for the Department of the Navy. I presently reside in Kingsland, GA, where I have been living for almost ten yrs. I have one last thing to write, and that is that I have a granddaughter by the name of Taylor Gloria Marie Davis. Well, that's me in a nutshell. I hope whoever reads my book enjoys the poems. God bless, everyone.
