Synopsis

FROM THE AUTHOR:

This is a collection of poems I've written focusing on my life. It started as a journal in my 30s as a release from life's challenges. The poems are often dark in nature, but sometimes they are light and airy from when my mood found relief. My mind often wanders and sometimes drifts off the beaten path. I simply follow and give it freewill to venture. I, too, am surprised at ideas my mind comes up with. I include them here so readers can catch a glimpse of me. I try to be honest in my writing. I feel I owe that much to my fellow man. Some of the poems are about love between a man and a woman. While many are fantasy, some were written to or about my wife, Martha Jean. At this age, most are poems made up of memories-of people I've met and the emotions they stirred in my heart. I've included a variety of poems instead of sticking to one theme-a hodgepodge, hoping there's something for everyone. I pray this idea works and that readers find something that stirs a feeling within, no matter what that feeling is.
